RS informs its clients about the CIC on Crew Wages and Seafarers’ Employment Agreements

The three-month inspection campaign will commence on the 1 September 2024 and end on the 30 November 2024. Port State Control Officers will use a pre-defined questionnaire to assess that crew wages, seafarers’ employment agreements (SEAs) and financial securities provided comply with relevant MLC requirements.

The purpose of the campaign is both to create awareness within the shipping industry about the requirements of the MLC and to verify that ships comply with these requirements. After a thorough analysis the results of the campaign will be submitted to the ILO and IMO.
