Abstract: The effective character of the adopted work standards challenges each society which wishes to give a direction and life to legal requirements on which it took positions. In the scheme of an effective application, Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC, 2006) integrated in its provisions the principle of the social certification of the ships whose finality is to be a tool facilitating the measurement of its effectiveness while making it possible to reduce the existing differences between the flags and ship-owners having good practices and all the others. Under this angle, certification brings more rationality and harshness to the ship-owners practices and is thus presented in the form of a innovating device for the respect of the seafarers' rights. This major achievement for the seafarers' rights should not occult the reality of some ship-owners practices being very reprehensive. The competitive environment in which fits maritime work does not make everything justifiable. These repetitive practices point out the need for a continuous improvement of any international requirement of certification whose finality is to enforce the legal protections created to the seafarers's benefit.
