Paris and Tokyo MoUs have announced a joint three-month Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC), commencing 1 September and running through to 30 November 2024. Port State Control Officers (PSCOs) will use a pre-defined questionnaire to assess compliance with the Maritime Labor Convention 2006.
The purpose of the Inspection Campaign
The purpose of the Inspection Campaign is to determine the level of compliance of all involved parties with the requirements of the Maritime Labor Convention, 2006 (MLC, 2006), especially those related to Crew Wages and Seafarer Employment Agreement.
• Crew departments must verify that all relevant documentation for the onboard crew is available to the Master for presentation to the PSCO.
• Allotments and wage payments should comply with the requirements of the Seafarer’s Employment Agreement.
• Wage or salary payments to seafarers must be made at intervals no greater than monthly.
• Each crew member should have an original copy of their SEA ready for inspection by the PSCO.
It is not necessary to remember the importance of ensuring the readiness of the shore organization and crew. Ensure that all documentation onboard ships is maintained by applicable rules and regulations.
We have attached a questionnaire and a guidance document to assist with the preparation of the vessel to successfully complete the inspection during the Concentrated Campaign.
