Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2022, published 111st ILC session (2023)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition
Implementation of the Conventions. In order to provide a comprehensive view of the issues relating to the application of ratified maritime Conventions, the Committee considers it appropriate to examine them in a single comment. In its previous comments, the Committee noted the Government’s statement that there were neither seafarers nor ships registered in the territory, and that the Government intended to terminate the acceptance of the obligations of a number of ratified maritime Conventions after consultation with employers’ and workers’ organizations. The Committee notes that the Government indicates in its reports that there are no developments concerning the possible termination of the acceptance of the obligations of these Conventions.
The Committee wishes to draw the Government’s attention to the data collected by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in its 2014 Review on Maritime Transport, which indicated that Aruba’s container ship fleet consists of seven ships. The Committee accordingly requests the Government to clarify the current situation concerning the number of seafarers and ships registered in Aruba.

Article 3 of the Convention. Repatriation of seafarers. In its previous report, the Government had indicated that it planned to consult with employers’ and workers’ organizations on the possibility of formally terminating the acceptance of the obligations of the Convention on behalf of Aruba as there were no legislative provisions giving effect to its requirements. In its last report, the Government provides no new information regarding its announced intention to terminate the acceptance of the obligations of the Convention on behalf of Aruba. The Committee accordingly requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any new developments that might have an impact on the application of the Convention and also on the outcome of the discussions within the tripartite committee on international labour affairs concerning the possible termination of the acceptance of the obligations of the Convention on behalf of Aruba.
