Show the answer
Correct answer: c) Manning levels for the ship.
Why it is correct
Royal Decree 357/2015 divides MLC 2006 inspection duties among the DGMM, the Labour Inspectorate and the ISM. The DGMM verifies minimum age, seafarers' qualifications and ship manning levels.
Why the others are not
- a) Health, safety and accident prevention falls to the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate.
- b) Payment of wages falls to the Labour and Social Security Inspectorate.
- d) Food and catering, as well as onboard medical care, fall to the Social Marine Institute (ISM).
How to work it out in the exam
- MLC 2006 split (RD 357/2015): DGMM = certificates & manning; Labour = wages, hours & OHS; ISM = medical certificates, medical chest & catering.
