1. The Committee notes the brief replies provided by the Government in May 2005 to its previous comments indicating that the dockworkers in the Tanzania Port Authority are permanent employees. Few registered casual dockers are employed on a daily pay basis and in some small local ports casual dockers are not registered and their payments are calculated according to work done. The Government also indicates that, despite the national port industry dockworkers being permanently employed, they are affected by retrenchments due to uneven privatization practices of port activities. The Committee recalls that measures should be instituted in order to prevent or minimize detrimental effects on dockworkers when a reduction in the strength of a register becomes necessary and asks the Government to report in detail on any steps taken, in cooperation with the social partners concerned, in order to minimize detrimental effects on dockworkers of privatization (Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention).

2. The Committee would appreciate receiving a general appreciation of the manner in which the Convention is applied in the United Republic of Tanzania, including, for instance, extracts from reports of the Tanzania Port Authority and particulars of the numbers of dockworkers on the registers maintained in accordance with the Convention and of variations in their numbers during the period covered by the report (Part V of the report form).
