This document discusses Norway's implementation of the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) in 3 key areas: 1. Norway will adopt the MLC's definition of "shipowner" as the International Safety Management (ISM) Company to ensure one party is responsible for seafarers' working conditions. 2. Norway will implement the joint IMO/ILO medical guidelines but recognize medical certificates nationally at first due to challenges with mutual recognition. 3. Norway delegates authority to recognized organizations to inspect ships and issue labor certificates, and provides guidance while requiring shipowners to develop compliance plans.
