Solution to Crew Abandonment
Protecting seafarers' rights and ensuring safe repatriation when vessels fail their crew.
When seafarers are stranded, JCL acts.
When seafarers are left stranded without wages, provisions, or a means to return home, swift action is critical. Jose Ocean Jobs works to protect abandoned crew — liaising with authorities, providing welfare support, and coordinating repatriation to get seafarers home safely.

Understanding the MLC 2006 Standard
The Maritime Labour Convention (MLC 2006) sets out shipowners' obligations to crew — including living conditions, payment, and repatriation. JCL helps both seafarers and vessel operators understand and uphold these standards, reducing the risk of abandonment and protecting everyone involved.
