4、ILO) is the United Nations (UN) specialized agency that seeks the promotion of social justice and internationally recognized human and labor rights. The ILO provides legal instruments aimed at protecting and improving working conditions, including those of seafarers. The ILO has produced the Maritim
5、e Labour Convention (MLC), 2006 which was adopted during the 94thSession of the ILO on February 23, 2006. The Regulations and the Code are organized into general areas under five Titles: Title 1: Minimum requirements for seafarers to work on a ship Title 2: Conditions of employment Title 3: Accommod
6、ation, recreational facilities, food and catering Title 4: Health protection, medical care, welfare, and social security protection Title 5: Compliance and enforcement Title 3, Regulation 3.1 addresses vessel design issues related to quality of life at sea, including the physical design of seafarer
7、accommodation areas and the characteristics of the ambient environment (e.g., whole-body vibration, noise, indoor climatic variables, and lighting) which seafarers are exposed to during rest and recreation. Guidance for complying with the Title 3, Regulation 3.1 requirements are provided in this Gui
8、de. This Guide is based on the MLC objective requirements and ABS interpretation of the intent of the Part A requirements and on what ABS considers satisfactory compliance with the Part A subjective requirements. Note: Additional or different criteria imposed by individual Flag Administrations may a
9、lso be applicable. As a result, adherence to the criteria in this Guide does not guarantee acceptance by any flag Administration that has ratified the ILO MLC, 2006 as prima facie evidence of compliance with the MLCs Title 3, Regulation 3.1 requirements. This Guide, originally published in May 2009,
10、 has undergone significant revision including requirements from the revised International Maritime Organization (IMO) Code on Noise (Resolution MSC.337(91) Code on Noise Levels on Board Ships) and input from industry (i.e., Owners, designers, and construction yards). This Guide provides the assessme
11、nt criteria and measurement methodology for obtaining an ABS Maritime Labor Convention (MLC) Accommodation (ACCOM) related notation (MLC-ACCOM, MLC-ACCOM(SPS), and MLC-ACCOM(WB). This Guide provides criteria for three categories of vessels seeking an MLC-ACCOM notation: MLC-ACCOM for vessels complyi
12、ng with the criteria contained in this Guide relating to Regulation 3.1 of the ILO MLC MLC-ACCOM(SPS) for special purpose vessels obtaining the ABS SPS notation MLC-ACCOM(WB) for non-SPS vessels (e.g., offshore/platform support vessels, tow boats, anchor handling vessels, etc.). For vessels requesti
13、ng the MLC-ACCOM notation, the vessel must meet all the appropriate criteria across the various categories contained in this Guide. For the MLC-ACCOM(SPS) notation, vessels must be awarded (or in the process of being awarded) the ABS Classification Notation of SPS and meet all the appropriate criter
14、ia in this Guide considering the allowances permitted for special purpose ships as provided in the ILO MLC. These allowances have been included in Appendix 3. The MLC-ACCOM(WB) notation applies to non-SPS vessels (e.g., offshore/platform support vessels, tow boats, anchor handling vessels, etc.) wan
15、ting to demonstrate compliance with the ILO MLC with consideration given to specific flag State ILO MLC guidance, as applicable.

40、E WITH THE ILO MARITIME LABOUR CONVENTION, 2006 TITLE 3 REQUIREMENTS .2014 1 Section 1: General SECTION 1 General 1 Introduction Accommodation standards are a measure of the acceptability of seafarer accommodation areas for living and working. The ABS Guide for Compliance with the ILO Maritime Labou
41、r Convention, 2006 Title 3 Requirements has been developed to assist vessel Owners and Operators in understanding and fulfilling the Maritime Labour Conventions (MLC) Title 3, “Accommodation, Recreational Facilities, Food and Catering” requirements. This Guide is intended for use by vessel Owners or
42、 companies requesting the optional notation of MLC-ACCOM, MLC-ACCOM(SPS), or MLC-ACCOM(WB). The criteria provided in this Guide have been extracted from Regulation 3.1 of the MLC and derived from human factors, ergonomics, and safety practices and principles, as well as currently available research
43、data and standards. These criteria establish levels of safety and health consistent with the intent of the MLC. The criteria are based on the MLC objective requirements and ABS interpretation of the intent of the Part A requirements and on what ABS considers satisfactory compliance with the Part A r
44、equirements of the MLC Regulation 3.1. 2 Application Except where otherwise stated, the ILO Maritime Labour Convention applies to any vessel engaged in international voyages or flying the flag of a member state and operating from a port, or between ports, in another country. It defines international
45、 voyage as a voyage from a country to a port outside such a country. The Convention does not apply to vessels engaged in fishing or in similar pursuits, vessels which navigate exclusively in inland waters or waters within, or closely adjacent to, sheltered waters or areas where port regulations appl
46、y; and vessels of traditional build such as dhows and junks. The Convention does not apply to warships or naval auxiliaries. In the event of doubt as to whether this Convention applies to a vessel or particular category of vessels, the question shall be determined by the competent authority in each
47、ILO Member State after consultation with the vessel Owners and the seafarers organizations concerned. Article II, paragraphs 4 and 5 3 Scope This Guide focuses on five (5) aspects of vessel design and layout that can be controlled, measured, and assessed. These five (5) aspects are broken into two (
48、2) categories in this Guide: accommodation area design and characteristics of the ambient environment. Accommodation area criteria pertain to dimensional and outfitting aspects of spaces where seafarers, eat, sleep, recreate, and perform routine daily activities. The ambient environmental aspects pe
49、rtain to the environment that seafarers are exposed to during periods of leisure and rest. Specifically, this Guide provides criteria, and measurement methodologies for the following: i) Whole-body Vibration ii) Noise iii) Indoor Climate iv) Lighting Section 1 General 2 ABSGUIDE FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE ILO MARITIME LABOUR CONVENTION, 2006 TITLE 3 REQUIREMENTS .2014 The criteria associated with the MLC-ACCOM, the MLC-ACCOM(SPS), and the MLC-ACCOM(WB) notations is applicable only to accommodation spaces where seafarers sleep, rest, dine
