Articles 4 to 15 of the Convention. Fishermen’s certificates of competency. The Committee recalls that for a considerable number of years it has been commenting on the absence of laws and regulations giving effect to the requirements of the Convention. In its last report, the Government indicates that draft Safety of Fishing Vessel Regulations have been prepared under section 87(1) of the Shipping Act No. 24 of 1987. These regulations, which were expected to be enacted in 2011, will establish, among other matters, standards for the manning of fishing vessels with trained and certified officers. The Committee hopes that upon completion, the new legislation will fully comply with the specific requirements of the Convention regarding fishers’ minimum age, professional experience and examinations so that national legislation and practice be brought at last in line with the certification standards set out in the Convention. The Committee would appreciate receiving a copy of the Safety of Fishing Vessel Regulations once they have been issued.
