Convenio sobre el alojamiento de la tripulación (disposiciones complementarias), 1970 (núm. 133) - Uruguay (Ratificación : 1977)

The Committee notes with interest the information communicated by the Government regarding the application of Article 5 of the Accommodation of Crews Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 92), relating to the inspection mechanisms in force, and, in particular, Decree No. 500/991, concerning the general procedure for complaints to the central administration, containing provisions on the procedure for the filing and examination of complaints which have been transmitted by the Government. Furthermore, the Committee would like to draw the Government’s attention to the following point.

Article 3 of Convention No. 133. For a number of years now, the Committee has recalled that, according to this Article, “each Member for which this Convention is in force undertakes to comply, in respect of ships to which this Convention applies, with: (a) the provisions of Parts II and III of the Accommodation of Crews Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 92); and (b) the provisions of Part II of this Convention”. Once again, the Government’s report fails to include information on this matter. The Committee therefore asks the Government, once again, to take the necessary steps to give effect to these provisions, and to provide, in its next report, detailed information on any progress made in this regard.
