The Human Factor Onboard

When does the MLC, 2006 enter into force? How does it affect shipowners, shipmanagers and yards? Which ship does it apply to? ILO CERT service gives all the answers.

ILO CERT
GL offers a comprehensive all-round package through its ILO CERT service. First GL will arrange an initial meeting to illuminate what the process involves and determine how well a company is prepared for MLC, 2006 (for more detailed product info see also GL - FAQs and the ILO CERT Flyer).

ILO ACCOM
Geared towards shipyards, this service provides two tailored
solutions: ILO 92 / 133, which is an existing standard to ensure
compliance of crew accomodation if required by the Flag State;
MLC APPROVAL which ensures compliance of crew accommodation
with the upcoming MLC 2006.

MLC TRAINING
In addition to the certification programme, we offer international
workshops and seminars to help ship owners and managers
understand the regulations of the Convention, as well as
implementing its requirements. Please visit the GL Academy
homepage to find out more: www.glacademy.com.

MLC ANALYSER
This service is tailored to the needs of ship managers and comprises
two important MLC evaluation procedures: SELF-ASSESSMENT,
the self assessment tool is a paper checklist provided by GL so
that you are able to assess your ships' compliance; GAP ANALYSIS,
a shipboard inspection by specially trained ML Inspectors to
determine the present status (best practice).

MLC PRE CERT
Geared at shipowners and managers, the MLC PRE CERT is a
voluntary statement of compliance that guarantees transfer to the
Maritime Labour Certificate. It involves the ship manager's
preparation of DMLC II, his application for the Flag State's DMLC I,
reviews and inspections by GL and an MLC Statement of
Compliance issued by GL.

MLC NOISE & VIBRATION
N&V PRE-CHECK evaluates the likelihood of noise & vibration
compliance with MLC. Preventive action is initiated at an early
design stage to avoid costly anti-noise and anti-vibration
measures during or after construction. N&V CERTIFICATION
assesses your MLC compliance in relation to noise and vibration.
It provides standardised measurement procedures in combination
with an assessment of noise and vibration levels measured
against limit values as provided by MLC or Flag States.

These services can ideally be combined to provide a comprehensive
planning, preparation, implementation and monitoring package for
your MLC 2006 certification.
