The MLC entered into force on 20 August 2013. In April 2014 the International Labour Organisation (ILO) agreed several amendments to the MLC to implement the principles agreed back in 2009 by the joint IMO/ILO financial security working group. These amendments will enter into force on 18 January 2017.
Ships that are subject to the MLC will, after this date, be required to display certificates issued by an insurer or other financial security provider confirming that insurance or other financial security is in place for the cost and expense of crew repatriation, as well as up to four months contractually entitled arrears of wages and entitlements following abandonment (MLC Regulation 2.5.2, as amended). A further certificate will be required for liabilities for contractual claims arising from seafarer personal injury, disability or death (MLC Standard A4.2, as amended).

海事劳工公约 – 更新
《海事劳工公约》于2013年8月20日生效。2014年4月，国际劳工组织通过了公约的若干修订内容，以执行国际海事组织/国际劳工组织联合财务担保工作小组于2009年一致通过的原则。修订案将于2017年1月18日生效。
修订案生效后，根据规则2.5.2的修订，公约国船舶需持有保险人或其他财务担保人签发的证书，从而确认已通过保险或其他担保的方式，落实船员遣返的成本费用，及弃船后4个月合同工资和相应权利。根据公约标准A4.2的修订，还需备有另一份证书，确保承担船员受伤、残疾或死亡的合同赔偿责任。
