DMLC (Declaration of Maritime Labour Compliance)

Abbreviation: DMLC

The flag-state document evidencing an individual ship's MLC 2006 compliance — Part I (flag-state prescribed measures) + Part II (shipowner-implemented measures).

Quick facts

Required onboard: MLC Cert + DMLC Part I + DMLC Part II

In practice

Seafarers should photograph the DMLC Part II on joining — the insurer name + policy number is critical if abandonment occurs later.

Regulatory detail & full definition

The DMLC is posted onboard every MLC-compliant ship. DMLC Part I lists the flag state's national law implementing each MLC requirement. DMLC Part II lists the specific measures the shipowner has adopted on this ship. Together the DMLC + the MLC Certificate evidence MLC compliance for PSC inspection. Critically for abandoned crew, DMLC Part II names the financial-security insurer — the first-call contact when abandonment occurs.
