Cabo Verde flag: FAQ
- Is the Cabo Verde flag safe for seafarers?
- The Cabo Verde flag has weaker port-state-control ratings under one or both MoU regimes. It has ratified MLC 2006, so seafarers retain convention-based rights. Operators on weaker-rated flags are not always poor employers, but they face less external regulatory pressure.
- Has Cabo Verde ratified the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC 2006)?
- Yes — Cabo Verde has ratified MLC 2006 (ratified 2018). Seafarers serving on Cabo Verde-flagged vessels are entitled to make MLC complaints through the flag administration, port state, or seafarer welfare organisations such as the ITF.
- How do I file a complaint against a Cabo Verde-flagged vessel or operator?
- Complaints can be lodged with the Instituto Marítimo e Portuário de Cabo Verde. Under MLC 2006, complaints may also be lodged with the port-state authority of any MLC-ratified port. The ITF and seafarer welfare organisations (Mission to Seafarers, Stella Maris, Sailors' Society) can advocate on your behalf. Keep contract, wage records, and seaman's book ready.
- What port-state-control rating does Cabo Verde have?
- Paris MoU rating: unknown. Tokyo MoU rating: unknown. PSC ratings classify flags by inspection and detention history. White / low-risk flags face fewer PSC inspections; black / high-risk flags face more frequent inspection and a higher detention rate.
- Is Cabo Verde on the ITF Flag of Convenience (FoC) list?
- No — Cabo Verde is not currently on the ITF Flag of Convenience list. Seafarers retain general ITF-channel access for advocacy and abandonment response regardless of FoC status.
