Egypt Advances Maritime Labour Standards under ILO Guidance

Following its ratification of the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (MLC, 2006), Egypt hosted a roundtable in Cairo to align national maritime regulations with global standards. High-ranking officials and experts, including Egypt's Minister of Labour Mohamed Gebran and ILO representatives, discussed implementing the convention, set to take effect on June 7, 2025. This collaboration strengthens Egypt’s maritime workforce protections and ensures compliance with international labour benchmarks.
