Checklist for crew contracts

To comply with the Regulation 2.1 of the MLC, the following checklist must be completed
 To support seafarers’ fair treatment and achieve clear contracts, all members should comply with seafarers’
rights under the MLC regulations as a minimum. See MLC Regulations and Guidelines 2.1 – 4.5.

Particulars Check

Conditions on termination of the agreement, including:


1. if the agreement has been made for an indefinite period, the conditions
entitling either party to terminate it, as well as the required notice period,
which shall not be less for the shipowner than for the seafarer.
2. if the agreement has been made for a definite period, the date fixed for
its expiry; and
3. if the agreement has been made for a voyage, the port of destination
and the time which must expire after arrival before the seafarer should
be discharged;
Expiry date – if the contract is for a fixed term the crew member is entitled to know when
you will be discharged

know how long it will be after your arrival before the crew member will be discharged
Health and social security benefits provided by the shipowner

bargaining agreement, must be available substantively in English on board the ship for

In addition to seafarers’ rights established in the MLC 2006, we suggests considering
the following to support well-being of seafarers

 Avoid any disparities in pay that are not related to performance, and ensure equal
opportunities onboard for all crew

 Where different contractual provisions apply, the more beneficial terms to the crew
should prevail

 Avoid excessively long periods onboard, this is to support seafarers’ mental health,
safety and operational performance

 Healthy food and social benefits onboard, private phone rooms, free phone calls,
sanitary products for female crew, exercise area and equipment

 Put a crew wellbeing programme in place

 Provision of access to relevant health related mobile app(s) for crew

 Additional covers: contact your responsible underwriter to consider additional crew


related covers that P&I can offer
