A33. Can the ILO certify me to be an inspector for the MLC, 2006 for ports and/or flag States?

No. The ILO provides some training and workshops through its Maritime Labour Academy with respect to the MLC, 2006 including certification of people that could be national or regional level trainers of inspectors on the MLC, 2006 [see A32.]. However, the qualifications to be a national flag State inspector or a PSC l inspector/authorized officer are matters that are dealt with by ratifying countries and the competent authority for the MLC, 2006 in the relevant country should be contacted for this information [see A25 and A28].
