The Committee notes that the Government indicates in its report that the occupation of dockworker does not exist in Tajikistan due to the lack of navigable rivers in the country and of flag vessels. The Commission previously pointed out that although the Republic of Tajikistan is a landlocked country, the provisions of the Convention also apply to processes of loading and unloading of ships engaged in inland navigation. The Committee invites the Government to indicate any progress made in the development of the transport of goods by inland waterways and therefore in the infrastructure necessary for the handling of goods and, where appropriate, to indicate any measures subsequently adopted to ensure that workers engaged in loading and unloading operations are protected against accidents in accordance with the provisions of the Convention.
