Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

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

The Committee notes 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, but that the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries will again be advised of the matter. It hopes that the Government will be able to indicate in its next report that measures have been taken in this respect and, if applicable, to provide copies of the legislation giving full effect to the Convention. The Committee again asks the Government to provide all relevant information on the practical application of the Convention, as requested under points III and V of the report form.
