Objective: The purpose of this section is to
implement substantially equivalent arrangements to the seafarer
accommodation requirements of the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 to vessels built after the date
of entry into force of the Convention. There are alternative arrangements
for vessels of traditional design and vessels under 200GT which do not trade
internationally. The aim of the Convention is to provide a comprehensive set
of global maritime labour standards for all seafarers, including
accommodation standards.
