Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1991, published 78th ILC session (1991)

Accommodation of Crews (Fishermen) Convention, 1966 (No. 126) - Sierra Leone (Ratification: 1967)

Further to its observation the Committee hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee recalls that no legislation has yet been adopted to give effect to Article 6, paragraphs 7 to 9 and 11 to 16, of the Convention (construction of crew accommodation); Article 10, paragraphs 22 and 26 (furniture and berthing); and Article 12, paragraphs 2, 7, 10 and 11 (sanitary and laundry facilities) in respect of vessels of 75 gross registered tons or more, such vessels being covered by the Convention under Article 1, paragraph 3. It hopes that the responsible government department will take this matter into active consideration as soon as it can, so that the Convention can be fully applied. The Committee would also be glad if the Government would provide any information available as to the practical application of the Convention, as requested under Parts III and V of the report form.
