MLC 2006 Compliance Checklist for Yacht Crew

How CrewNotice helps you meet Maritime Labour Convention requirements.

The Maritime Labour Convention 2006 sets minimum standards for seafarer working conditions. While CrewNotice is not a full MLC compliance system, it directly supports several key requirements related to crew information, training, documentation, and welfare.

Information & Communication

  • Crew informed of vessel safety policies and procedures
  • Timestamped proof of information dissemination
  • Changes to operational procedures communicated and acknowledged
  • Department-specific briefings for relevant crew only

Training & Familiarisation

  • Training modules delivered and tracked per crew member
  • Assessment scores and pass/fail records maintained
  • Training completion certificates generated
  • Deadline tracking and automated reminders for overdue training

Documentation & Records

  • SOP version control with acknowledgement tracking
  • Risk assessments accessible to all relevant crew
  • MSDS/COSHH sheets available digitally
  • Exportable audit reports with timestamps

Crew Welfare

  • Social notices and crew event coordination
  • Transparent communication from management
  • Offline access to important documents during passage
Note: This checklist covers CrewNotice's contribution to MLC compliance. For full MLC compliance — including hours of rest, leave management, and employment conditions — consult your flag state requirements and consider complementary tools like WorkRest.
