MLC FAQ  

This page sets out current MCA thinking on what UK shipowners will need to do to comply with the revised UK legislation being prepared in anticipation of the UK ratifying the MLC, 2006.

These draft proposals have been discussed and agreed with the Tripartite Working Group (consisting of UK seafarer, shipowner and government representatives) which is advising the MCA on implementation of the Convention.

The purpose of disclosing the draft proposals at this stage is to assist owners of UK ships in their preparations for the MLC coming into force internationally. However, the legislative changes referred to on this page have not yet been made, and public consultation on them has yet to be carried out.

Accordingly the draft proposals set out here must not be regarded as final or certain, and shipowners should check final regulations and guidance when issued to identify any changes.

For up-to-date information on the status of legislative changes associated with MLC implementation, check this page regularly.

Please Note:In due course this webpage will be populated with the Regulations and associated M Notices bringing in the respective parts of the MLC following public consultation and publication. (If currently being consulted on; this webpage will be annotated accordingly and a link provided to re-direct you to the consultation documents)
