在2022年第110届国际劳工组织（ILO）日内瓦大会上审议通过的《2006年海事劳工公约》（MLC 2006）修正案，预计将于2024年12月23日正式生效。

请点击此处查看修正案全文，为便于快速了解，协会总结了以下核心要点：

招聘和安置

如果招聘和安置机构或船东不履行其雇佣协议义务，给船员造成经济损失，他们应为船员提供进一步的保护，在聘用之前或聘用过程中，应告知船员他们的权益。

遣返

船旗国和港口国必须积极主动地为需要遣返的船员提供便利和帮助，包括被遗弃的船员。替换的船员应享有《海事劳工公约》规定的同等权利和待遇，责任由港口国、船旗国和劳工供应国承担；

住宿和娱乐设施

应提供适当的娱乐设施、便利设施和服务，包括电话和互联网服务。使用船岸电话或互联网的费用都应合理。

各国还应在其港口和锚地向船上的船员提供互联网接入服务，收费金额也应合理。

国际劳工组织希望这一修正案能对船员的心理健康产生积极的影响。

食品和餐饮

根据船上船员的人数、宗教要求和文化习俗，船上应有足够的食品和饮用水供应。在质量、营养价值和多样性方面应与航程的长短和性质相适应，并应在受聘期间免费提供。膳食部的组织和设备应保证在卫生的条件下准备和供应膳食。

船上和岸上的医疗服务

各国应确保需要立即就医的船员能迅速上岸，并能使用岸上的医疗设施。如果船员在船上死亡，死亡发生国（包括其领水）或船舶下一港国家，应为遗体的送返提供便利。

不得以公共卫生为由阻止船员上岸，应允许船舶补充储备、燃料、水、食品和用品。

健康和安全保护及事故预防

应提供适当尺寸的个人防护设备，并采取措施降低暴露于有害环境因素和化学品的风险。

船旗国应对所有船员的死亡进行充分的调查和记录，并每年向国际劳工组织报告。

有关财务安全规定的附录修正

MLC财务担保证书只需注明船舶注册所有人即可。

Seafarers should not be prevented from disembarking for public health reasons and ships should be permitted to replenish their stores, fuels, water, food and supplies.

Regulation 4.3 – Health and safety protection and accident prevention

There should be provision for appropriately sized personal protection equipment and measures in place to reduce the risk of exposure to harmful levels of ambient factors and chemicals.
