MLC 2006 and P&I cover

Summary

– introduction to the MLC

– liabilities under MLC 2006

– abandonment

– financial security

– compliance / condition of cover

30

What is the MLC 2006?

– the ―Fourth Pillar‖ of the international maritime regulation which provides comprehensive rights and protection at work for the world's 1.2m seafarers and supports fair competition for quality ship owners.

Titles

1. Minimum requirements for seafarers to work on a ship

2. Conditions of employment

3. Accommodation, recreational facilities, food and catering

4. Health protection, medical care, welfare and social security protection

5. Compliance and enforcement

31

Ratification and entry into force

32

Ratification

Liberia, Marshall Islands, Bahamas, Panama, Norway, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Spain, Croatia, Bulgaria, Canada, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Switzerland, Gabon, Benin, Singapore, Denmark, Antigua and Barbuda, Latvia, Luxembourg, Kiribati, Netherlands, Australia, St Kitts and Nevis, Tuvalu, Togo, Poland, Palau, Sweden, Cyprus, Russia, Philippines

Entry into force: 20 August 2013

Enforcement

33

Article V, paragraph 7

– Each member shall implement its responsibilities under this Convention in such a way as to ensure that the ships that fly the flag of any State that has not ratified this Convention do not receive more favourable treatment than the ships that fly the flag of any State that has ratified it.

– A ―Recognized Organisation‖ (RO) of flag state / Port State Control can (if deficiencies represent a serious breach of the MLC) prohibit a ship from leaving a port until deficiencies are remedied.

Liabilities under MLC 2006

– liabilities arising under MLC 2006 are covered according to the rules.

– repatriation?

– cover with club’s retention?

34

Are they covered?

Financial security

– requirement for owners to provide evidence of financial security

– will P&I club certificate of entry suffice?

35

Condition of cover

— compliance with statutory requirements = mandatory under the club rules

―15.1 (5) the member must comply with all statutory requirements of the ship’s flag state relating to the construction, adaptation, condition, fitment, equipment, manning and operation of the ship and must at all times maintain the validity of such statutory certificates as are required or issued by or on behalf of the ship’s flag state…‖

— Port State Control

36

Conclusion

– P&I cover in place for many of the liabilities assumed under MLC 2006.

– repatriation arising out of ―Abandonment‖ not poolable but may be covered within club retention

– P&I clubs investigating if COE can be accepted as financial security

– compliance with MLC 2006 will be a requisite of club cover

– how can the P&I clubs help?

Project Horizon

Fatigue – the issue

– sleeping not watching

– if 8 hours sleep required and 7 hours received, there is a 1 hour sleep deficit

– sleep deficits are accumulative and can only be eliminated by sleeping

39

Horizon – what was involved?

– measuring the performance of volunteer groups of ships’ officers working on a bridge, engine room and cargo simulator during a 7 day period when working either a 6-on 6-off or 4-on 8-off watch system

– 90 volunteers taken from a manning agency or directly recruited from advertisements

40

Planned voyage

41

Horizon – what was measured

– sleep and wake diaries kept to measure periods of sleep and activity

– Actiwatch used to measure activity

– Stroop test (colour word) to measure selective attention. It shows green words in red ink

– Psychomotor vigilance test to measure reaction time

– brain and eye movement measured by EEG and EOG

– Karolinska drowsiness test – black dot on a wall

– sessions videoed – movement, standing and sitting observed

42

Karolinska sleepiness scale

– 1 – extremely alert

– 2 – very alert

– 3 – alert

– 4 – rather alert

– 5 – neither alert or sleepy

– 6 – some signs of sleepiness

– 7 – sleepy, no effort to stay awake

– 8 – sleepy, some effort to stay awake

– 9 – very sleepy, great effort to stay awake

47

Results

– more sleepiness during 1st watch of the day

– alertness test results worst during first watch

– sleepiness increased during the watch

– free watch disturbance increased sleepiness

– more sleepiness on 6 and 6 than 4 and 8 watch system

– more fatigue when working 6 and 6

– highest sleepiness on night watch – the graveyard watch!

– 30% of participants fell asleep, sleeping on every watch

– more falling asleep during first watch or after the disturbed free watch

– generic duties fulfilled, sleeping did not affect performance!

– no difference between bridge and engine room
