It is expected that the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC) will attain full ratification at the IMO in the forthcoming year. The Club would wish to advise Members to acquaint themselves with the convention so that they may be fully prepared for its implementation.
The convention currently has 22 signatories and has already satisfied the gross tonnage criteria for full ratification (more than 33% of the world fleet). But full ratification also requires 30 member nations to approve the convention. Currently eight more signatures are required. According to a press release from the Marshal Islands flag authority this is expected to occur early next year. The convention will be fully enforced 12 months after the 30th signature is obtained.
The Club advises all Members to fully appraise themselves with the MLC convention so that they may take the necessary steps in order to be fully compliant when the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 becomes fully enforced.

海事劳工公约获批
协会预计《2006年海事劳工公约》(MLC)将于明年在国际海事组织获得全面批准。协会建议所有会员熟悉了解该公约，为该公约的实施做好准备。
目前，已有22个国家签署了该公约，已经符合全面获批的总吨位标准(高于世界船队总吨位的33%)。但是，该公约要获得全面批准，还需要33个会员国通过该公约。目前，还需要8个国家签署该公约。根据马绍尔群岛船旗国主管机构的新闻发布会上的消息，预计该公约将于明年初获得全面批准。在30个国家签署该公约后，该公约将于12个月后全面执行。
协会建议所有的会员用《海事劳工公约》对自身进行全面评估，以便在该公约全面执行时采取必要步骤确保完全遵守该公约。
