Details

The second part of the ‘maritime labour certificate’, this form (also known as DMLC-Part II) is to be filled in by the ships owner.

The surveyor must confirm its compliance when the initial inspection is undertaken.

DMLC-Part II:

• outlines what the shipowner needs to do to meet the national requirements (the 16 items listed in Appendix A5.1 of the MLC, 2006)
• shows the measures suggested to make sure that improvement continues
• must be written in clear terms
• is designed to help everyone involved to easily check that the requirements are being put in place properly

Shipowners with ships under a number of flags are advised to keep DMLC-Part II generic, rather than producing one specifically for each flag state.

The example declaration of maritime labour compliance part II is provided by the MCA and UK Chamber of Shipping to indicate the sort of information and the level of detail to be included. It is not a model or template for ship owners to copy.
