Implementatie van het op 23 februari 2006 te Geneve tot stand gekomen Maritiem Arbeidsverdrag, 2006 (Trb. 2007, 93)

This Dutch bill would give domestic legal effect to the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006, an international treaty adopted by the International Labour Organization in Geneva on 23 February 2006. The convention sets minimum standards for seafarers' working and living conditions, including employment contracts, pay, rest hours, health protection, and social security. Implementing it into Dutch law allows the Netherlands to meet its obligations as a party to the convention. The rules would mainly affect seafarers on ships under Dutch flag and shipowners or manning agencies operating them. Ship operators would need to ensure compliance with the convention's standards on crew conditions and documentation.
