- SCOPE & PURPOSE
This Newsletter aims to inform all interested parties about the publication of Marine Advisory: 10/26 by the Liberia Maritime Authority. The Administration has identified recurring deficiencies related to Seafarer Employment Agreements (SEAs), wage payments, and financial transparency, which are core requirements under the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC, 2006, as amended).
Recent Port State Control (PSC) inspections have resulted in increased deficiencies and detentions associated with:
- Invalid or improperly executed SEAs
- Wage discrepancies and delayed payments
- Non-transparent payroll practices
This CIC aims to verify compliance with MLC Title 2 (Conditions of Employment) and ensure that seafarers’ contractual and financial rights are fully protected.
