Repetition Articles 3–6 of the Convention. Entitlement to repatriation. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the Merchant Shipping Act 1995 of the United Kingdom is extended to Anguilla by virtue of section 1(1)(c) of the Act which defines British ships as ships registered under the law of a relevant British possession. It also notes that section 1(3) of the Act defines United Kingdom ships separately to mean ships registered in the United Kingdom. The Committee further notes that section 73 of the Merchant Shipping Act, which implements the basic requirements of the Convention, refers only to persons employed as seafarers on United Kingdom ships. The Committee requests the Government to provide clarification as to how it is ensured that the provisions of the UK Merchant Shipping Act of 1995 relating to repatriation and any relevant regulations are applied to ships registered in Anguilla. Practical application. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including, for instance, statistics on the number of seafarers covered by the relevant legislation, inspection results, copies of relevant clauses in applicable collective agreements, and extracts from official reports and information on any practical difficulties in the application of the Convention.
