Industry-Standard Maritime Employment Contracts & MLC Compliance You Can Rely On
⚓ Empower Your Crew, Protect Your Company
In the global maritime industry, your crew contracts aren’t just paperwork — they are legal safeguards, operational foundations, and powerful tools for crew retention and performance. Seafarers must have legally enforceable, clear, and compliant contracts that meet international standards like the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) — often called the Seafarers’ Bill of Rights — and failure to do so can expose your vessel and company to inspections, penalties, and operational disruptions. At BBI Marine, we help you build contracts and HR frameworks that keep your workforce supported — and your operations protected.
📄 What Our Maritime Employment Contract Services Cover
Every seafarer working on your vessel deserves a contract that is:
Clear, fair, and written in an understandable language
Inclusive of key MLC requirements (wages, hours, rest, repatriation, medical & social protection, rights and responsibilities)
Our contracts help you satisfy both flag-state inspections and port-state compliance checks — no surprises.
🚢 Why Strong Contracts Matter
Well-drafted employment contracts do more than check a regulatory box — they:
🔹 Provide clarity and protection for both seafarer and employer
🔹 Reduce disputes and complaints onboard and ashore
🔹 Show professional standards that help attract and retain quality talent
🔹 Support smoother operations and better performance at sea
Whether you operate a single vessel or an entire fleet, we tailor your contracts to your specific crewing model and operational needs — not generic templates.
📈 Beyond Contracts — Build a High-Performing Crew
Contracts alone aren’t enough.
That’s why we help you integrate:
Structured career paths aligned with real competency milestones
Objective performance reviews tied to internationally recognized standards
Targeted training plans that support advancement and operational excellence
A motivated and competent crew isn’t just compliant — they’re efficient, safe, and loyal.
