Webinar
The COVID-19 pandemic has created a global crisis that has impacted all aspects of life and adversely affected the world of work. In the maritime sector, it has severely disrupted shipping operations and affected the work of nearly 2 million seafarers worldwide.
From the beginning of COVID-19 crisis, the International Chamber of Shipping, the International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) and numerous government’s representatives joined forces with the IMO, the WHO, and the ILO to identify and promote the most appropriate responses to protect seafarers and allow the shipping industry to continue playing its crucial role. While several important measures have been taken, many more are needed on an urgent basis to ensure adequate protection of the health and safety of seafarers.
Objective:
The webinar will highlight the concerns affecting the employment of seafarers during the COVID-19 pandemic, in particular in light of the provisions of the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006, as amended (MLC, 2006).
Participants will be able to submit questions during the webinar. They may also submit them in advance when registering.
