A practical approach on implementation and enforcement issues was followed with a view to exchange best practices for achieving a harmonized enforcement of the Convention provisions. It offered to participants an opportunity to discuss issues on labour supplying responsibilities, Flag State challenges - substantial equivalence, areas of flexibility, seafarer’s employment agreements, hours of work and rest, manning, repatriation, periods of service, entitlement to leave and payment of wages. 

It aimed at officials, both at the central administration and in the field, who deal with the implementation and enforcement of the Maritime Labour Convention 2006.
