THE International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) has warned shipowners off flying the flags of Tanzania, Mongolia, Moldova, Cambodia and Sierra Leone because they do not comply with United Nations' labour standards.
According to the annual ICS flag state performance table published last week, these are examples of sub-standard ship registers, reported London's Tanker Operator.
"One area on which we would like to see more progress is with respect to ratification of the ILO Maritime Labour Convention," said ICS secretary general Peter Hinchliffe.
"But following the entry into force of the convention, it is now being enforced worldwide through Port State Control and the vast majority of international shipping companies are operating in compliance, with the exception of the official flag state certification," he said.
