Senegal is the 94th member State to have ratified this Convention.
On
19 September 2019, Senegal became the 94th member State of the
International Labour Organization to ratify the Maritime
Labour Convention, 2006, as amended (MLC, 2006) .
This Convention establishes the minimum working and living standards
that apply to all seafarers working on ships. The 94
States that
have ratified the MLC, 2006 represent more than 91 per cent of world
gross tonnage.
This
ratification reflects the Senegal’s desire to expand its fleet and
create decent employment opportunities for seafarers. Senegal has
long played an important role in supporting promotional campaigns for
the MLC, 2006 in West Africa.
The
MLC, 2006, will enter into force in Senegal on 19 September 2020, one
year after the deposit of its instruments of ratification.
