MLC Addendum to the CHA

A Legal Document which has to be countersigned between the Crew Manager and Crew Management Customers. The Document will provide details and will list a number of the Shipowner’s responsibilities (as those are defined in the ILO MLC), which will be subcontracted to the Crew Manager as the employer of crew. The document once signed, will have to be placed onboard all your vessels, and will have to be made available to auditors/ inspectors during ILO MLC onboard audits and PSC inspections. The MLC Addendum to the C.H.A will provide evidence that a number of ILO MLC provisions have been subcontracted to the Crew Manager since the CHA for obvious reasons (confidential information), cannot be placed onboard.
