The first chapter of this thesis analyses the IMO International Maritime Organization and the
setting up of the international conventions for the protection of life at sea SOLAS, and the
pollution of the sea by MARPOL ships and the International Safe Management Code. They refer
to sefarers’ work and aim at optimizing the working conditions of seafarers and shipping in
general. Then, in the second chapter, the original International Convention STCW 1978 and the
revised Conventions 1995 and 2010 are listed, and the amendments thereto are analyzed, with a
focus on the general requirements for certification of competence for officers and lower rankings
of the deck and engine. Certificates shall be distinguished according to the requirements of the
amended STCW 2010. In chapter three, a reference is made to the Classification societies and
port state controls. In chapter four, we examine the reasons that led to the new Maritime Labor
Convention MLC2006 and the issues it covers and the challenges associated with its
implementation. In chapters five and six we are analyzing the job description of each seafarer’s
rank, the roles and responsibilities of the shipping company and crew department according to
MLC, STCW and ISM, the manning agents’ and the usual process of travel to and from the ship
until it is remounted as well as the selection and training procedure of the seafarers. Chapter
seven corresponds to the selection and training procedure of the seafarers. The chapter eight
analyses the provisions of the contract with insurance interest, namely the compensation of the
seafarer as well as the repatriation and social security. Lastly, at chapter nine we focus on the
seafarer’s evaluation, which will judge his career, the reputation of the company, the quality of
services in the work on board, etc.
