New convention improves marine working environments

Shipping is the most global of all businesses. One reason for introducing a new Marine Labour Convention is to create a more even playing field for the shipping companies. Shipowners should no longer be able to save money by cutting wages or neglecting the working environment.

The Marine Labour Convention:

Norway was the first signatory to the Convention. Sweden is expected to sign before the end of the year.

30 nations representing at least 33 percent of the global shipping fleet must ratify the Convention in order for it to come into force. There is already enough tonnage as major shipping registers like Panama, Liberia, and Bahamas have ratified the Convention. 

The EU Commission has asked member states to ratify the Convention by the end of this year.
