Course Description

In the past hundreds of seafarers have fallen seriously ill and have even died with gastrointestinal symptoms due to food poisoning. Illnesses have been characterized by diarrhoea and vomiting, likely caused by Norovirus, which infects the intestines and most commonly affects people in enclosed spaces such as ships. Other food-borne illnesses too, have affected a large number of seafarers.

The Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (MLC), came into force internationally on 20th August 2013. The purpose of Regulation 3.2 (Food and Catering) of MLC is to ensure that seafarers have access to good quality nutritious food and drinking water provided under regulated hygienic conditions.

This course covers the training requirements of MLC 2006, Regulation 3.2, Standard A 3.2 and Guidelines B 3.2 and Republic of the Marshall Islands Marine Notice No.7-044-1, Section 15.7 and 15.9.3.3.
