Oman becomes 100th country to ratify Maritime Labour Convention
Oman has become the 100th country to ratify a 2006 treaty that protects the rights, pay and conditions of seafarers - a milestone that was commemorated on Monday by a ceremony at the headquarters of the International Labour Organization (ILO) in Geneva.
The ILO and IMO have called for 'urgent action' to protect seafarers and vessels grounded in Ukrainian ports and nearby waters.
An estimated 1,000 seafarers are currently stranded in Ukrainian ports and waters with dwindling vital supplies.
Singapore and the International Maritime Organization have together launched NextGEN Connect, which aims to offer inclusive solutions for maritime decarbonisation for trials along specific shipping routes.
