The International Labour Organisation\u2019s Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC), which the UK ratified in 2013, provides a global framework for decent living and working conditions for seafarers. The MLC has been amended three times since then to provide measures<\/p>
<\/p>
For financial support for seafarers abandoned by shipowners;<\/p><\/li>
To protect seafarers against bullying and harassment; and<\/p><\/li>
To ensure that employment protection remains in place throughout the period of captivity for seafarers held captive in cases of piracy or armed robbery.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>
<\/p>
The UK continues to take an active role in the international Committee which keeps the MLC under review and will support practical measures to improve the wellbeing of seafarers.<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p> The Maritime and Coastguard Agency is expecting to publish new guidance for shipowners and for seafarers on wellbeing issues later this year.<\/p>"}
