Articles 2 to 6 of the Convention. Issuance, form and content of seafarers’ identity documents. Right to maintain the document in the seafarer’s possession. Readmission to a territory and permission to enter a territory. The Committee previously requested the Government to provide information on any developments concerning the process of revision of the Merchant Shipping (Crew Agreements, Lists of Crew and Discharge of Seamen) Regulations, 1991 (hereinafter the “1991 Regulations”). It notes the adoption of the Merchant Shipping (Seafarer’s Employment) Regulations, 2013 (hereinafter the “2013 Regulations”), which revokes the 1991 Regulations. It also notes, however, that the 2013 Regulations do not give effect to the requirements laid down in Articles 2 to 6 of the Convention. The Committee therefore requests the Government to indicate the relevant legislative texts giving effect to the provisions of the Convention, and to provide a recent specimen of the seaman’s discharge book currently in use.

The Committee recalls that the Convention has been revised by the Seafarers’ Identity Documents Convention (Revised), 2003 (No. 185). It draws the Government’s attention to its general observation addressing the recent amendments to the annexes of Convention No. 185.
