This Convention implemented in 2011 has effectively consolidated nearly 70 other conventions relating to the employment of seafarers and their conditions of employment.

The objective of the MLC 2006, which is complementary to the ISM and other international conventions, is to provide minimum requirements for the working and living conditions for seafarers. It is safe to state that a well found and operated superyacht will exceed most of these requirements.
The main parts of the convention are:

• the minimum requirements for seafarers to work on a ship;
• conditions of employment;
• accommodation,
• recreational facilities,
• food and catering;
• health protection,
• medical care,
• welfare and social security protection;
• compliance and enforcement.
