Any injury sustained in the course of duty — from a simple slip to a major incident — is the shipowner's financial responsibility under MLC 2006 Regulation 4.2. The Master must enter it in the Official Log Book and notify the owner; the owner's P&I club then handles medical costs, lost wages, and (where the injury results in lasting disability) compensation. Document everything from the moment it happens.
MLC 2006 Regulation 4.2 (shipowners' liability for sickness, injury, or death of seafarers), Standard A4.2.1 (financial security). ILO C55 (sickness, injury, and death) where ratified. P&I cover under the International Group Pooling Agreement.
