Diana’s Maersk Malacca is the first Greek owned vessel to be issued with Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) certification by Lloyd's Register.
The initial vessel inspection was carried out onboard the Marshall Islands registered container ship at Livorno on 19 December 2012 where it was found to be in full compliance with the requirements of the Maritime Convention. The MLC certificate has now been handed over to Simeon Palios, Director and President of Diana Shipping Services S.A., by Apostolos Poulovassilis, Lloyd’s Register Marine Regional Manager EMEA, during a ceremony at the premises of the company in Athens.
The MLC becomes compulsory in August 2013.
