Maritime Labour Conventions and Recommendations – 4th edition

From the founding of the ILO in 1919 it was decided that questions relating to seafarers should normally

be considered by special maritime sessions of the International Labour Conference devoted exclusively to

them, the first of which was held in 1920. This book contains the substantive provisions of 30

Conventions and 23 Recommendations dealing with the conditions of employment of seafarers adopted by

the International Labour Conference over a 70-year period, as well as the provisions of instruments

applicable to all workers including seafarers, referred to in Convention No. 147. The substantive

provisions of 7 Conventions and 5 Recommendations relating to fishing, dock work and inland navigation

are also included. There are also two charts, showing the ratifications by States Members of the maritime

and other Labour Conventions listed in this publication, and the declarations of application of

Conventions to non-metropolitan territories.

Inspection of labour conditions on board ship: Guide-lines for pro cedure

Accidents involving ships often result in deaths, loss of ships and damage to the marine environment, and

they are a fact of modern times. Such accidents can be traced in part to the growth and changing nature of

seaborne commerce; equally significant, however, are the changes in labour conditions for seafarers and

the problem of substandard ships. These guide-lines are intended to assist those concerned with labour and

social conditions on board ship, to help ensure that the relevant international labour standards are

complied with, and to minimize the risk of accidents caused by not fulfilling these standards.

and health in dock work published in 1958. The use of pallets and containers and special precautions to

be taken in connection with nuclear-powered ships are dealt with, in addition to the subjects already

covered in the code of practice.
