C2.5.1.e. Some airlines are charging for luggage above a minimum weight. What is the situation for seafarers under the MLC, 2006?

The MLC, 2006 recommends in Guideline B2.5.1, paragraph 3(d), that shipowners should pay for 30 kg of luggage in connection with repatriation. This recommendation must be given due consideration by flag States [see A12.]. If airlines make a charge for luggage above a lower limit, this could be a matter for the competent authority [see A28.] to consider and would need to clarify the situation with the airlines concerned
