Summary/Abstract: Maritime Labor Convention of 2006 fulfills the assumptions of the recommendation of 1920 concerning the adoption of a binding “International maritime labor code” in the form of the “Bill of Rights for Seafarers”. The uniqueness of this convention is perceived inits unanimous adoption at the maritime session in 2006, which confirms the status of the Maritime Labor Convention as an act providing widely accepted standard for the minimum protection of seafarers. What is more, the Convention has been incorporated into the audit system used by the International Maritime Organization which is indicated by: 1. the element of the certification of sea vessels of the weight more than 500, 2. the coordination of bodies preparing maritime labor certificates (Port State Control – PST) 3. the creation of a common profile of the risk of the flag of a ship for the ports of European Union Member States.
