Dear Sir,
I refer to the 2018 amendments to the Code of the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006, as
amended (MLC, 2006), approved on 5 June 2018 during the 107th Session of the International
Labour Conference (ILC) and wish to draw your attention to the fact that the Office is still awaiting
a declaration of acceptance of these amendments from your Government.
These amendments relate to the protection of wages and other entitlements of seafarers held
captive on or off the ship as a result of acts of piracy or armed robbery against ships. A copy of
the text of the amendments is available at the following link: www.ilo.org/amendments-18en.
As the ratification of the MLC, 2006 by your country was registered after the date on which these
amendments were approved by the Conference, and before the date of their entry into force, i.e.
26 December 2020, the amendments have not been notified to your Government under Article XV
of the MLC, 2006 and have not automatically entered into force for your country. However, your
Government may accept them by sending a formal declaration to that effect to the
Director General. A sample formal declaration is attached to this letter.
In light of the above, we would be grateful if your Government could inform us of its position
regarding the 2018 amendments. The Office remains at your disposal to answer any questions
your Government may have in this regard.
I should be grateful if you would kindly convey to your Government the expression of my sincere
appreciation for this renewed commitment to the efforts by the Organization to promote decent
work standards for all seafarers.
