Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2009, published 99th ILC session (2010)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

For several years now, the Government has been indicating that, since Guinea has no shipyards, it has the option either of purchasing vessels that are designed in accordance with the provisions of the Convention or of ensuring that alterations of vessels are in conformity with the Convention. The Maritime Navigation Agency (ANAN) is responsible for the implementation of the provisions of the Convention, and the Marine Inspectors Division ensure the application of the Maritime Code. The Committee had requested the Government to indicate the manner in which it ensures that vessels built abroad meet the requirements of the Convention. It also requested the Government to send as soon as possible the texts relating to the establishment and activities of the Maritime Navigation Agency and the Marine Inspectorate, and to keep it informed of any future developments concerning the number of seagoing vessels covered by the Convention. Since the Government’s report does not reply to these requests, the Committee once again asks the Government to provide the information required.
