Further to our news piece on 24 April 2025 on the MLC 2025 amendments, the International Labour Organization (ILO) has now officially adopted those amendments at its ongoing 113th International Labour Conference on 6 June 2025. The ILO conference was convened on 2 June and will end on 13 June 2025.
We have produced a full text of the amendments with a brief BIMCO explanation of the aim of each. It is available for members only under the Crew Support section/Amendments 2025 to MLC 2006.
The MLC 2025 amendments are expected to enter into force in late December 2027.
