Convenio sobre la indicación del peso en los fardos transportados por barco, 1929 (núm. 27) - Papua Nueva Guinea (Ratificación : 1976)

The Committee notes that, in response to its general observation of 2007 on the application of this Convention, the Government indicates that in their view most of the provisions of this Convention are obsolete and that modernized functions of the relevant maritime organization in the country imply that the marking of weights is no longer a problem and that there is no need to maintain this Convention. The Government further indicates its intention to denounce this Convention and concentrate on examining the possibility of ratifying the consolidated Maritime Labour Convention, 2006. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of any relevant progress in this respect.
