PREAMBLE

The General Conference of the International Labour Organization,

Having been convened at Geneva by the Governing Body of the International Labour Office, and having met in its Ninety-fourth Session on 7 February 2006, and

Desiring to create a single, coherent instrument embodying as far as possible all up-to-date standards of existing international maritime labour Conventions and Recommendations, as well as the fundamental principles to be found in other international labour Conventions, in particular:

– the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29);

– the Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87);

– the Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98);

– the Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100);

– the Abolition of Forced Labour Convention, 1957 (No. 105);

– the Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention, 1958 (No. 111);

– the Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138);

– the Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, 1999 (No. 182); and

Mindful of the core mandate of the Organization, which is to promote decent conditions of work, and

Recalling the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, 1998, and

Mindful also that seafarers are covered by the provisions of other ILO instruments and have other rights which are established as fundamental rights and freedoms applicable to all persons, and

Considering that, given the global nature of the shipping industry, seafarers need special protection, and

Mindful also of the international standards on ship safety, human security and quality ship management in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, as amended, the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972, as amended, and the seafarer training and competency requirements in the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, as amended, and

Recalling that the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, 1982, sets out a general legal framework within which all activities in the oceans and seas must be carried out and is of strategic importance as the basis for national, regional and global action and cooperation in the marine sector, and that its integrity needs to be maintained, and

Recalling that Article 94 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, 1982, establishes the duties and obligations of a flag State with regard to, inter alia, labour conditions, crewing and social matters on ships that fly its flag, and

Recalling paragraph 8 of article 19 of the Constitution of the International Labour Organisation which provides that in no case shall the adoption of any Convention or Recommendation by the Conference or the ratification of any Convention by any Member be deemed to affect any law, award, custom or agreement which ensures more favourable conditions to the workers concerned than those provided for in the Convention or Recommendation, and

Determined that this new instrument should be designed to secure the widest possible acceptability among governments, shipowners and seafarers committed to the principles of decent work, that it should be readily updateable and that it should lend itself to effective implementation and enforcement, and

Having decided upon the adoption of certain proposals for the realization of such an instrument, which is the only item on the agenda of the session, and

Having determined that these proposals shall take the form of an international Convention;

adopts this twenty-third day of February of the year two thousand and six the following Convention, which may be cited as the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006.

AUTHORITATIVE LANGUAGES

Article XVI

The English and French versions of the text of this Convention are equally authoritative.

EXPLANATORY NOTE TO THE REGULATIONS AND CODE OF THE MARITIME LABOUR CONVENTION

1. This explanatory note, which does not form part of the Maritime Labour Convention, is intended as a general guide to the Convention.

2. The Convention comprises three different but related parts: the Articles, the Regulations and the Code.

3. The Articles and Regulations set out the core rights and principles and the basic obligations of Members ratifying the Convention. The Articles and Regulations can only be changed by the Conference in the framework of article 19 of the Constitution of the International Labour Organisation (see Article XIV of the Convention).

4. The Code contains the details for the implementation of the Regulations. It comprises Part A (mandatory Standards) and Part B (non-mandatory Guidelines). The Code can be amended through the simplified procedure set out in Article XV of the Convention. Since the Code relates to detailed implementation, amendments to it must remain within the general scope of the Articles and Regulations.

5. The Regulations and the Code are organized into general areas under five Titles:

Title 1: Minimum requirements for seafarers to work on a ship

Title 2: Conditions of employment

Title 3: Accommodation, recreational facilities, food and catering

Title 4: Health protection, medical care, welfare and social security protection

Title 5: Compliance and enforcement

6. Each Title contains groups of provisions relating to a particular right or principle (or enforcement measure in Title 5), with connected numbering. The first group in Title 1, for example, consists of Regulation 1.1, Standard A1.1 and Guideline B1.1, relating to minimum age.

7. The Convention has three underlying purposes:

(a) to lay down, in its Articles and Regulations, a firm set of rights and principles;

(b) to allow, through the Code, a considerable degree of flexibility in the way Members implement those rights and principles; and

8. There are two main areas for flexibility in implementation: one is the possibility for a Member, where necessary (see Article VI, paragraph 3), to give effect to the detailed requirements of Part A of the Code through substantial equivalence (as defined in Article VI, paragraph 4).

9. The second area of flexibility in implementation is provided by formulating the mandatory requirements of many provisions in Part A in a more general way, thus leaving a wider scope for discretion as to the precise action to be provided for at the national level. In such cases, guidance on implementation is given in the non-mandatory Part B of the Code. In this way, Members which have ratified this Convention can ascertain the kind of action that might be expected of them under the corresponding general obligation in Part A, as well as action that would not necessarily be required. For example, Standard A4.1 requires all ships to provide prompt access to the necessary medicines for medical care on board ship (paragraph 1(b)) and to «carry a medicine chest» (paragraph 4(a)). The fulfilment in good faith of this latter obligation clearly means something more than simply having a medicine chest on board each ship. A more precise indication of what is involved is provided in the corresponding Guideline B4.1.1 (paragraph 4) so as to ensure that the contents of the chest are properly stored, used and maintained.

10. Members which have ratified this Convention are not bound by the guidance concerned and, as indicated in the provisions in Title 5 on port State control, inspections would deal only with the relevant requirements of this Convention (Articles, Regulations and the Standards in Part A). However, Members are required under paragraph 2 of Article VI to give due consideration to implementing their responsibilities under Part A of the Code in the manner provided for in Part B. If, having duly considered the relevant Guidelines, a Member decides to provide for different arrangements which ensure the proper storage, use and maintenance of the contents of the medicine chest, to take the example given above, as required by the Standard in Part A, then that is acceptable. On the other hand, by following the guidance provided in Part B, the Member concerned, as well as the ILO bodies responsible for reviewing implementation of international labour Conventions, can be sure without further consideration that the arrangements the Member has provided for are adequate to implement the responsibilities under Part A to which the Guideline relates.

In order to ensure that medical certificates genuinely reflect seafarers’ state of health, in light of the duties they are to perform, the competent authority shall, after consultation with the shipowners’ and seafarers’ organizations concerned, and giving due consideration to applicable international guidelines referred to in Part B of this Code, prescribe the nature of the medical examination and certificate.

3. This Standard is without prejudice to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, as amended (“STCW”). A medical certificate issued in accordance with the requirements of STCW shall be accepted by the competent authority, for the purpose of Regulation 1.2. A medical certificate meeting the substance of those requirements, in the case of seafarers not covered by STCW, shall similarly be accepted.

4. The medical certificate shall be issued by a duly qualified medical practitioner or, in the case of a certificate solely concerning eyesight, by a person recognized by the competent authority as qualified to issue such a certificate. Practitioners must enjoy full professional independence in exercising their medical judgement in undertaking medical examination procedures.

5. Seafarers that have been refused a certificate or have had a limitation imposed on their ability to work, in particular with respect to time, field of work or trading area, shall be given the opportunity to have a further examination by another independent medical practitioner or by an independent medical referee.

6. Each medical certificate shall state in particular that:

(a) the hearing and sight of the seafarer concerned, and the colour vision in the case of a seafarer to be employed in capacities where fitness for the work to be performed is liable to be affected by defective colour vision, are all satisfactory; and

(b) the seafarer concerned is not suffering from any medical condition likely to be aggravated by service at sea or to render the seafarer unfit for such service or to endanger the health of other persons on board.

7. Unless a shorter period is required by reason of the specific duties to be performed by the seafarer concerned or is required under STCW:

(a) a medical certificate shall be valid for a maximum period of two years unless the seafarer is under the age of 18, in which case the maximum period of validity shall be one year;

(b) a certification of colour vision shall be valid for a maximum period of six years.

8. In urgent cases the competent authority may permit a seafarer to work without a valid medical certificate until the next port of call where the seafarer can obtain a medical certificate from a qualified medical practitioner, provided that:

(a) the period of such permission does not exceed three months; and

(b) the seafarer concerned is in possession of an expired medical certificate of recent date.

9. If the period of validity of a certificate expires in the course of a voyage, the certificate shall continue in force until the next port of call where the seafarer can obtain a medical certificate from a qualified medical practitioner, provided that the period shall not exceed three months.

10. The medical certificates for seafers working on ships ordinarily engaged on international voyages must as a minimum be provided in English.

Guideline B1.2 – Medical certificateGuideline B1.2.1 – International guidelines

1. The competent authority, medical practitioners, examiners, shipowners, seafarers’ representatives and all other persons concerned with the conduct of medical fitness examinations of seafarer candidates and serving seafarers should follow the ILO/WHO Guidelines for Conducting Presea and Periodic Medical Fitness Examinations for Seafarers, including any subsequent versions, and any other applicable international guidelines published by the International Labour Organization, the International Maritime Organization or the World Health Organization.

4. Any Member which, at the time of its ratification of this Convention, was bound by the Certification of Able Seamen Convention, 1946 (No. 74), shall continue to carry out the obligations under that Convention unless and until mandatory provisions covering its subject matter have been adopted by the International Maritime Organization and entered into force, or until five years have elapsed since the entry into force of this Convention in accordance with paragraph 3 of Article VIII, whichever date is earlier.

Regulation 1.4 – Recruitment and placement

Purpose: To ensure that seafarers have access to an efficient and well-regulated seafarer recruitment and placement system

1. All seafarers shall have access to an efficient, adequate and accountable system for finding employment on board ship without charge to the seafarer.

2. Seafarer recruitment and placement services operating in a Member’s territory shall conform to the standards set out in the Code.

3. Each Member shall require, in respect of seafarers who work on ships that fly its flag, that shipowners who use seafarer recruitment and placement services that are based in countries or territories in which this Convention does not apply, ensure that those services conform to the requirements set out in the Code.

Standard A1.4 – Recruitment and placement

1. Each Member that operates a public seafarer recruitment and placement service shall ensure that the service is operated in an orderly manner that protects and promotes seafarers’ employment rights as provided in this Convention.

2. Where a Member has private seafarer recruitment and placement services operating in its territory whose primary purpose is the recruitment and placement of seafarers or which recruit and place a significant number of seafarers, they shall be operated only in conformity with a standardized system of licensing or certification or other form of regulation. This system shall be established, modified or changed only after consultation with the shipowners’ and seafarers’ organizations concerned. In the event of doubt as to whether this Convention applies to a private recruitment and placement service, the question shall be determined by the competent authority in each Member after consultation with the shipowners’ and seafarers’ organizations concerned. Undue proliferation of private seafarer recruitment and placement services shall not be encouraged.

3. The provisions of paragraph 2 of this Standard shall also apply – to the extent that they are determined by the competent authority, in consultation with the shipowners’ and seafarers’ organizations concerned, to be appropriate – in the context of recruitment and placement services operated by a seafarers’ organization in the territory of the Member for the supply of seafarers who are nationals of that Member to ships which fly its flag. The services covered by this paragraph are those fulfilling the following conditions:

(a) the recruitment and placement service is operated pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement between that organization and a shipowner;

(b) both the seafarers’ organization and the shipowner are based in the territory of the Member;

4. Nothing in this Standard or Regulation 1.4 shall be deemed to:

(a) prevent a Member from maintaining a free public seafarer recruitment and placement service for seafarers in the framework of a policy to meet the needs of seafarers and shipowners, whether the service forms part of or is coordinated with a public employment service for all workers and employers; or

(b) impose on a Member the obligation to establish a system for the operation of private seafarer recruitment or placement services in its territory.

5. A Member adopting a system referred to in paragraph 2 of this Standard shall, in its laws and regulations or other measures, at a minimum:

(a) prohibit seafarer recruitment and placement services from using means, mechanisms or lists intended to prevent or deter seafarers from gaining employment for which they are qualified;

(b) require that no fees or other charges for seafarer recruitment or placement or for providing employment to seafarers are borne directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by the seafarer, other than the cost of the seafarer obtaining a national statutory medical certificate, the national seafarer’s book and a passport or other similar personal travel documents, not including, however, the cost of visas, which shall be borne by the shipowner; and

(i) maintain an up-to-date register of all seafarers recruited or placed through them, to be available for inspection by the competent authority;

(ii) make sure that seafarers are informed of their rights and duties under their employment agreements prior to or in the process of engagement and that proper arrangements are made for seafarers to examine their employment agreements before and after they are signed and for them to receive a copy of the agreements;

(iii) verify that seafarers recruited or placed by them are qualified and hold the documents necessary for the job concerned, and that the seafarers’ employment agreements are in accordance with applicable laws and regulations and any collective bargaining agreement that forms part of the employment agreement;

(iv) make sure, as far as practicable, that the shipowner has the means to protect seafarers from being stranded in a foreign port;

(v) examine and respond to any complaint concerning their activities and advise the competent authority of any unresolved complaint;

(vi) establish a system of protection, by way of insurance or an equivalent appropriate measure, to compensate seafarers for monetary loss that they may incur as a result of the failure of a recruitment and placement service or the relevant shipowner under the seafarers’ employment agreement to meet its obligations to them.

6. The competent authority shall closely supervise and control all seafarer recruitment and placement services operating in the territory of the Member concerned. Any licences or certificates or similar authorizations for the operation of private services in the territory are granted or renewed only after verification that the seafarer recruitment and placement service concerned meets the requirements of national laws and regulations.

7. The competent authority shall ensure that adequate machinery and procedures exist for the investigation, if necessary, of complaints concerning the activities of seafarer recruitment and placement services, involving, as appropriate, representatives of shipowners and seafarers.

8. Each Member which has ratified this Convention shall, in so far as practicable, advise its nationals on the possible problems of signing on a ship that flies the flag of a State which has not ratified the Convention, until it is satisfied that standards equivalent to those fixed by this Convention are being applied. Measures taken to this effect by the Member that has ratified this Convention shall not be in contradiction with the principle of free movement of workers stipulated by the treaties to which the two States concerned may be parties.

9. Each Member which has ratified this Convention shall require that shipowners of ships that fly its flag, who use seafarer recruitment and placement services based in countries or territories in which this Convention does not apply, ensure, as far as practicable, that those services meet the requirements of this Standard.

10. Nothing in this Standard shall be understood as diminishing the obligations and responsibilities of shipowners or of a Member with respect to ships that fly its flag.

Guideline B1.4 – Recruitment and placementGuideline B1.4.1 – Organizational and operational guidelines

(e) maintaining an arrangement for the collection and analysis of all relevant information on the maritime labour market, including the current and prospective supply of seafarers that work as crew classified by age, sex, rank and qualifications, and the industry’s requirements, the collection of data on age or sex being admissible only for statistical purposes or if used in the framework of a programme to prevent discrimination based on age or sex;

(f) ensuring that the staff responsible for the supervision of public and private seafarer recruitment and placement services for ship’s crew with responsibility for the ship’s safe navigation and pollution prevention operations have had adequate training, including approved sea-service experience, and have relevant knowledge of the maritime industry, including the relevant maritime international instruments on training, certification and labour standards;

(g) prescribing operational standards and adopting codes of conduct and ethical practices for seafarer recruitment and placement services; and

(h) exercising supervision of the licensing or certification system on the basis of a system of quality standards.

2. In establishing the system referred to in Standard A1.4, paragraph 2, each Member should consider requiring seafarer recruitment and placement services, established in its territory, to develop and maintain verifiable operational practices. These operational practices for private seafarer recruitment and placement services and, to the extent that they are applicable, for public seafarer recruitment and placement services should address the following matters:

(a) medical examinations, seafarers’ identity documents and such other items as may be required for the seafarer to gain employment;

(b) maintaining, with due regard to the right to privacy and the need to protect confidentiality, full and complete records of the seafarers covered by their recruitment and placement system, which should include but not be limited to:

(iii) personal data relevant to employment; and

(iv) medical data relevant to employment;

(c) maintaining up-to-date lists of the ships for which the seafarer recruitment and placement services provide seafarers and ensuring that there is a means by which the services can be contacted in an emergency at all hours;

(d) procedures to ensure that seafarers are not subject to exploitation by the seafarer recruitment and placement services or their personnel with regard to the offer of engagement on particular ships or by particular companies;

(e) procedures to prevent the opportunities for exploitation of seafarers arising from the issue of joining advances or any other financial transaction between the shipowner and the seafarers which are handled by the seafarer recruitment and placement services;

(f) clearly publicizing costs, if any, which the seafarer will be expected to bear in the recruitment process;

(g) ensuring that seafarers are advised of any particular conditions applicable to the job for which they are to be engaged and of the particular shipowner’s policies relating to their employment;

(h) procedures which are in accordance with the principles of natural justice for dealing with cases of incompetence or indiscipline consistent with national laws and practice and, where applicable, with collective agreements;

(i) procedures to ensure, as far as practicable, that all mandatory certificates and documents submitted for employment are up to date and have not been fraudulently obtained and that employment references are verified;

(j) procedures to ensure that requests for information or advice by families of seafarers while the seafarers are at sea are dealt with promptly and sympathetically and at no cost; and

(k) verifying that labour conditions on ships where seafarers are placed are in conformity with applicable collective bargaining agreements concluded between a shipowner and a representative seafarers’ organization and, as a matter of policy, supplying seafarers only to shipowners that offer terms and conditions of employment to seafarers which comply with applicable laws or regulations or collective agreements.

3. Consideration should be given to encouraging international cooperation between Members and relevant organizations, such as:

(a) the systematic exchange of information on the maritime industry and labour market on a bilateral, regional and multilateral basis;

(b) the exchange of information on maritime labour legislation;

(d) the improvement of procedures and conditions for the international recruitment and placement of seafarers; and

(e) workforce planning, taking account of the supply of and demand for seafarers and the requirements of the maritime industry.

2. Seafarers’ employment agreements shall be agreed to by the seafarer under conditions which ensure that the seafarer has an opportunity to review and seek advice on the terms and conditions in the agreement and freely accepts them before signing.

3. To the extent compatible with the Member’s national law and practice, seafarers’ employment agreements shall be understood to incorporate any applicable collective bargaining agreements.

Standard A2.1 – Seafarers’ employment agreements

1. Each Member shall adopt laws or regulations requiring that ships that fly its flag comply with the following requirements:

(a) seafarers working on ships that fly its flag shall have a seafarers’ employment agreement signed by both the seafarer and the shipowner or a representative of the shipowner (or, where they are not employees, evidence of contractual or similar arrangements) providing them with decent working and living conditions on board the ship as required by this Convention;

(b) seafarers signing a seafarers’ employment agreement shall be given an opportunity to examine and seek advice on the agreement before signing, as well as such other facilities as are necessary to ensure that they have freely entered into an agreement with a sufficient understanding of their rights and responsibilities;

(d) measures shall be taken to ensure that clear information as to the conditions of their employment can be easily obtained on board by seafarers, including the ship’s master, and that such information, including a copy of the seafarers’ employment agreement, is also accessible for review by officers of a competent authority, including those in ports to be visited; and

(e) seafarers shall be given a document containing a record of their employment on board the ship.

2. Where a collective bargaining agreement forms all or part of a seafarers’ employment agreement, a copy of that agreement shall be available on board. Where the language of the seafarers’ employment agreement and any applicable collective bargaining agreement is not in English, the following shall also be available in English (except for ships engaged only in domestic voyages):

(a) a copy of a standard form of the agreement; and

(b) the portions of the collective bargaining agreement that are subject to a port State inspection under Regulation 5.2.

3. The document referred to in paragraph 1(e) of this Standard shall not contain any statement as to the quality of the seafarers’ work or as to their wages. The form of the document, the particulars to be recorded and the manner in which such particulars are to be entered, shall be determined by national law.

4. Each Member shall adopt laws and regulations specifying the matters that are to be included in all seafarers’ employment agreements governed by its national law. Seafarers’ employment agreements shall in all cases contain the following particulars:

(a) the seafarer’s full name, date of birth or age, and birthplace;

(b) the ship owner’s name and address;

(d) the capacity in which the seafarer is to be employed;

(e) the amount of the seafarer’s wages or, where applicable, the formula used for calculating them;

The duration of these minimum periods shall be determined after consultation with the shipowners’ and seafarers’ organizations concerned, but shall not be shorter than seven days.

6. A notice period shorter than the minimum may be given in circumstances which are recognized under national law or regulations or applicable collective bargaining agreements as justifying termination of the employment agreement at shorter notice or without notice. In determining those circumstances, each Member shall ensure that the need of the seafarer to terminate, without penalty, the employment agreement on shorter notice or without notice for compassionate or other urgent reasons is taken into account.

Guideline B2.1 – Seafarers’ employment agreementsGuideline B2.1.1 – Record of employment

1. In determining the particulars to be recorded in the record of employment referred to in Standard A2.1, paragraph 1(e), each Member should ensure that this document contains sufficient information, with a translation in English, to facilitate the acquisition of further work or to satisfy the sea-service requirements for upgrading or promotion. A seafarers’ discharge book may satisfy the requirements of paragraph 1(e) of that Standard.

Regulation 2.2 – Wages

Purpose: To ensure that seafarers are paid for their services

1. All seafarers shall be paid for their work regularly and in full in accordance with their employment agreements.

Standard A2.2 – Wages

1. Each Member shall require that payments due to seafarers working on ships that fly its flag are made at no greater than monthly intervals and in accordance with any applicable collective agreement.

2. Seafarers shall be given a monthly account of the payments due and the amounts paid, including wages, additional payments and the rate of exchange used where payment has been made in a currency or at a rate different from the one agreed to.

3. Each Member shall require that shipowners take measures, such as those set out in paragraph 4 of this Standard, to provide seafarers with a means to transmit all or part of their earnings to their families or dependants or legal beneficiaries.

4. Measures to ensure that seafarers are able to transmit their earnings to their families include:

(a) a system for enabling seafarers, at the time of their entering employment or during it, to allot, if they so desire, a proportion of their wages for remittance at regular intervals to their families by bank transfers or similar means; and

(b) a requirement that allotments should be remitted in due time and directly to the person or persons nominated by the seafarers.

5. Any charge for the service under paragraphs 3 and 4 of this Standard shall be reasonable in amount, and the rate of currency exchange, unless otherwise provided, shall, in accordance with national laws or regulations, be at the prevailing market rate or the official published rate and not unfavourable to the seafarer.

6. Each Member that adopts national laws or regulations governing seafarers’ wages shall give due consideration to the guidance provided in Part B of the Code.

(l) to the extent that seafarers’ claims for wages and other sums due in respect of their employment are not secured in accordance with the provisions of the International Convention on Maritime Liens and Mortgages, 1993, such claims should be protected in accordance with the Protection of Workers’ Claims (Employer’s Insolvency) Convention, 1992 (No. 173).

5. Each Member should, after consulting with representative shipowners’ and seafarers’ organizations, have procedures to investigate complaints relating to any matter contained in this Guideline.

Guideline B2.2.3 – Minimum wages

1. Without prejudice to the principle of free collective bargaining, each Member should, after consulting representative shipowners’ and seafarers’ organizations, establish procedures for determining minimum wages for seafarers. Representative shipowners’ and seafarers’ organizations should participate in the operation of such procedures.

2. When establishing such procedures and in fixing minimum wages, due regard should be given to international labour standards concerning minimum wage fixing, as well as the following principles:

(a) the level of minimum wages should take into account the nature of maritime employment, crewing levels of ships, and seafarers’ normal hours of work; and

(b) the level of minimum wages should be adjusted to take into account changes in the cost of living and in the needs of seafarers.

3. The competent authority should ensure:

(a) by means of a system of supervision and sanctions, that wages are paid at not less than the rate or rates fixed; and

(b) that any seafarers who have been paid at a rate lower than the minimum wage are enabled to recover, by an inexpensive and expeditious judicial or other procedure, the amount by which they have been underpaid.

Guideline B2.2.4 – Minimum monthly basic pay or wage figure for able seafarers

1. The basic pay or wages for a calendar month of service for an able seafarer should be no less than the amount periodically set by the Joint Maritime Commission or another body authorized by the Governing Body of the International Labour Office. Upon a decision of the Governing Body, the Director-General shall notify any revised amount to the Members of the Organization.

2. Nothing in this Guideline should be deemed to prejudice arrangements agreed between shipowners or their organizations and seafarers’ organizations with regard to the regulation of standard minimum terms and conditions of employment, provided such terms and conditions are recognized by the competent authority.

Regulation 2.3 – Hours of work and hours of rest

Purpose: To ensure that seafarers have regulated hours of work or hours of rest

1. Each Member shall ensure that the hours of work or hours of rest for seafarers are regulated.

2. Each Member shall establish maximum hours of work or minimum hours of rest over given periods that are consistent with the provisions in the Code.

Standard A2.3 – Hours of work and hours of rest

1. For the purpose of this Standard, the term:

(a) hours of work means time during which seafarers are required to do work on account of the ship;

(b) hours of rest means time outside hours of work; this term does not include short breaks.

2. Each Member shall within the limits set out in paragraphs 5 to 8 of this Standard fix either a maximum number of hours of work which shall not be exceeded in a given period of time, or a minimum number of hours of rest which shall be provided in a given period of time.

3. Each Member acknowledges that the normal working hours’ standard for seafarers, like that for other workers, shall be based on an eight-hour day with one day of rest per week and rest on public holidays. However, this shall not prevent the Member from having procedures to authorize or register a collective agreement which determines seafarers’ normal working hours on a basis no less favourable than this standard.

4. In determining the national standards, each Member shall take account of the danger posed by the fatigue of seafarers, especially those whose duties involve navigational safety and the safe and secure operation of the ship.

5. The limits on hours of work or rest shall be as follows:

(a) maximum hours of work shall not exceed:

(i) 14 hours in any 24-hour period; and

(ii) 72 hours in any seven-day period;

(b) minimum hours of rest shall not be less than:

(i) ten hours in any 24-hour period; and

(ii) 77 hours in any seven-day period.

6. Hours of rest may be divided into no more than two periods, one of which shall be at least six hours in length, and the interval between consecutive periods of rest shall not exceed 14 hours.

7. Musters, fire-fighting and lifeboat drills, and drills prescribed by national laws and regulations and by international instruments, shall be conducted in a manner that minimizes the disturbance of rest periods and does not induce fatigue.

8. When a seafarer is on call, such as when a machinery space is unattended, the seafarer shall have an adequate compensatory rest period if the normal period of rest is disturbed by call-outs to work.

9. If no collective agreement or arbitration award exists or if the competent authority determines that the provisions in the agreement or award in respect of paragraph 7 or 8 of this Standard are inadequate, the competent authority shall determine such provisions to ensure the seafarers concerned have sufficient rest.

10. Each Member shall require the posting, in an easily accessible place, of a table with the shipboard working arrangements, which shall contain for every position at least:

(a) the schedule of service at sea and service in port; and

(b) the maximum hours of work or the minimum hours of rest required by national laws or regulations or applicable collective agreements.

11. The table referred to in paragraph 10 of this Standard shall be established in a standardized format in the working language or languages of the ship and in English.

12. Each Member shall require that records of seafarers’ daily hours of work or of their daily hours of rest be maintained to allow monitoring of compliance with paragraphs 5 to 11 inclusive of this Standard. The records shall be in a standardized format established by the competent authority taking into account any available guidelines of the International Labour Organization or shall be in any standard format prepared by the Organization. They shall be in the languages required by paragraph 11 of this Standard. The seafarers shall receive a copy of the records pertaining to them which shall be endorsed by the master, or a person authorized by the master, and by the seafarers.

13. Nothing in paragraphs 5 and 6 of this Standard shall prevent a Member from having national laws or regulations or a procedure for the competent authority to authorize or register collective agreements permitting exceptions to the limits set out. Such exceptions shall, as far as possible, follow the provisions of this Standard but may take account of more frequent or longer leave periods or the granting of compensatory leave for watchkeeping seafarers or seafarers working on board ships on short voyages.

Regulation 2.4 – Entitlement to leave

Purpose: To ensure that seafarers have adequate leave

1. Each Member shall require that seafarers employed on ships that fly its flag are given paid annual leave under appropriate conditions, in accordance with the provisions in the Code.

2. Seafarers shall be granted shore leave to benefit their health and well-being and with the operational requirements of their positions.

Standard A2.4 – Entitlement to leave

1. Each Member shall adopt laws and regulations determining the minimum standards for annual leave for seafarers serving on ships that fly its flag, taking proper account of the special needs of seafarers with respect to such leave.

2. Subject to any collective agreement or laws or regulations providing for an appropriate method of calculation that takes account of the special needs of seafarers in this respect, the annual leave with pay entitlement shall be calculated on the basis of a minimum of 2.5 calendar days per month of employment. The manner in which the length of service is calculated shall be determined by the competent authority or through the appropriate machinery in each country. Justified absences from work shall not be considered as annual leave.

3. Any agreement to forgo the minimum annual leave with pay prescribed in this Standard, except in cases provided for by the competent authority, shall be prohibited.

Guideline B2.4 – Entitlement to leaveGuideline B2.4.1 – Calculation of entitlement

1. Under conditions as determined by the competent authority or through the appropriate machinery in each country, service off-articles should be counted as part of the period of service.

2. Under conditions as determined by the competent authority or in an applicable collective agreement, absence from work to attend an approved maritime vocational training course or for such reasons as illness or injury or for maternity should be counted as part of the period of service.

3. The level of pay during annual leave should be at the seafarer’s normal level of remuneration provided for by national laws or regulations or in the applicable seafarers’ employment agreement. For seafarers employed for periods shorter than one year or in the event of termination of the employment relationship, entitlement to leave should be calculated on a pro-rata basis.

4. The following should not be counted as part of annual leave with pay:

(a) public and customary holidays recognized as such in the flag State, whether or not they fall during the annual leave with pay;

(b) periods of incapacity for work resulting from illness or injury or from maternity, under conditions as determined by the competent authority or through the appropriate machinery in each country;

2. Seafarers should in principle have the right to take annual leave in the place with which they have a substantial connection, which would normally be the same as the place to which they are entitled to be repatriated. Seafarers should not be required without their consent to take annual leave due to them in another place except under the provisions of a seafarers’ employment agreement or of national laws or regulations.

3. If seafarers are required to take their annual leave from a place other than that permitted by paragraph 2 of this Guideline, they should be entitled to free transportation to the place where they were engaged or recruited, whichever is nearer their home; subsistence and other costs directly involved should be for the account of the shipowner; the travel time involved should not be deducted from the annual leave with pay due to the seafarer.

4. A seafarer taking annual leave should be recalled only in cases of extreme emergency and with the seafarer’s consent.

Guideline B2.4.3 – Division and accumulation

4. Inspections that may be carried out in accordance with this Regulation shall be based on an effective port State inspection and monitoring system to help ensure that the working and living conditions for seafarers on ships entering a port of the Member concerned meet the requirements of this Convention (including seafarers’ rights).

5. Information about the system referred to in paragraph 4 of this Regulation, including the method used for assessing its effectiveness, shall be included in the Member’s reports pursuant to article 22 of the Constitution.

Standard A5.2.1 – Inspections in port

1. Where an authorized officer, having come on board to carry out an inspection and requested, where applicable, the maritime labour certificate and the declaration of maritime labour compliance, finds that:

(a) the required documents are not produced or maintained or are falsely maintained or that the documents produced do not contain the information required by this Convention or are otherwise invalid; or

(b) there are clear grounds for believing that the working and living conditions on the ship do not conform to the requirements of this Convention; or

(c) there are reasonable grounds to believe that the ship has changed flag for the purpose of avoiding compliance with this Convention; or

(d) there is a complaint alleging that specific working and living conditions on the ship do not conform to the requirements of this Convention;

a more detailed inspection may be carried out to ascertain the working and living conditions on board the ship. Such inspection shall in any case be carried out where the working and living conditions believed or alleged to be defective could constitute a clear hazard to the safety, health or security of seafarers or where the authorized officer has grounds to believe that any deficiencies constitute a serious breach of the requirements of this Convention (including seafarers’ rights).

2. Where a more detailed inspection is carried out on a foreign ship in the port of a Member by authorized officers in the circumstances set out in subparagraph (a), (b) or (c) of paragraph 1 of this Standard, it shall in principle cover the matters listed in Appendix A5-III.

3. In the case of a complaint under paragraph 1(d) of this Standard, the inspection shall generally be limited to matters within the scope of the complaint, although a complaint, or its investigation, may provide clear grounds for a detailed inspection in accordance with paragraph 1(b) of this Standard. For the purpose of paragraph 1(d) of this Standard, «complaint» means information submitted by a seafarer, a professional body, an association, a trade union or, generally, any person with an interest in the safety of the ship, including an interest in safety or health hazards to seafarers on board.

4. Where, following a more detailed inspection, the working and living conditions on the ship are found not to conform to the requirements of this Convention, the authorized officer shall forthwith bring the deficiencies to the attention of the master of the ship, with required deadlines for their rectification. In the event that such deficiencies are considered by the authorized officer to be significant, or if they relate to a complaint made in accordance with paragraph 3 of this Standard, the authorized officer shall bring the deficiencies to the attention of the appropriate seafarers’ and shipowners’ organizations in the Member in which the inspection is carried out, and may:

(a) notify a representative of the flag State;

(b) provide the competent authorities of the next port of call with the relevant information.

5. The Member in which the inspection is carried out shall have the right to transmit a copy of the officer’s report, which must be accompanied by any reply received from the competent authorities of the flag State within the prescribed deadline, to the Director-General of the International Labour Office with a view to such action as may be considered appropriate and expedient in order to ensure that a record is kept of such information and that it is brought to the attention of parties which might be interested in availing themselves of relevant recourse procedures.

6. Where, following a more detailed inspection by an authorized officer, the ship is found not to conform to the requirements of this Convention and:

(a) the conditions on board are clearly hazardous to the safety, health or security of seafarers; or

(b) the non-conformity constitutes a serious or repeated breach of the requirements of this Convention (including seafarers’ rights);

the authorized officer shall take steps to ensure that the ship shall not proceed to sea until any nonconformities that fall within the scope of subparagraph (a) or (b) of this paragraph have been rectified, or until the authorized officer has accepted a plan of action to rectify such nonconformities and is satisfied that the plan will be implemented in an expeditious manner. If the ship is prevented from sailing, the authorized officer shall forthwith notify the flag State accordingly and invite a representative of the flag State to be present, if possible, requesting the flag State to reply within a prescribed deadline. The authorized officer shall also inform forthwith the appropriate shipowners’ and seafarers’ organizations in the port State in which the inspection was carried out.

7. Each Member shall ensure that its authorized officers are given guidance, of the kind indicated in Part B of the Code, as to the kinds of circumstances justifying detention of a ship under paragraph 6 of this Standard.

8. When implementing their responsibilities under this Standard, each Member shall make all possible efforts to avoid a ship being unduly detained or delayed. If a ship is found to be unduly detained or delayed, compensation shall be paid for any loss or damage suffered. The burden of proof in each case shall be on the complainant.

Guideline B5.2.1 – Inspections in port

1. The competent authority should develop an inspection policy for authorized officers carrying out inspections under Regulation 5.2.1. The objective of the policy should be to ensure consistency and to otherwise guide inspection and enforcement activities related to the requirements of this Convention (including seafarers’ rights). Copies of this policy should be provided to all authorized officers and should be available to the public and shipowners and seafarers.

2. When developing a policy relating to the circumstances warranting a detention of the ship under Standard A5.2.1, paragraph 6, of the competent authority should consider that, with respect to the breaches referred to in Standard A5.2.1, paragraph 6 (b), the seriousness could be due to the nature of the deficiency concerned. This would be particularly relevant in the case of the violation of fundamental rights and principles or seafarers’ employment and social rights under Articles III and IV. For example, the employment of a person who is under age should be considered as a serious breach even if there is only one such person on board. In other cases, the number of different defects found during a particular inspection should be taken into account: for example, several instances of defects relating to accommodation or food and catering which do not threaten safety or health might be needed before they should be considered as constituting a serious breach.

3. Members should cooperate with each other to the maximum extent possible in the adoption of internationally agreed guidelines on inspection policies, especially those relating to the circumstances warranting the detention of a ship.

Regulation 5.2.2 – Onshore seafarercomplaint-handling procedures

1. Each Member shall ensure that seafarers on ships calling at a port in the Member’s territory who allege a breach of the requirements of this Convention (including seafarers’ rights) have the right to report such a complaint in order to facilitate a prompt and practical means of redress.

Standard A5.2.2 – Onshore seafarer complaint-handling procedures

1. A complaint by a seafarer alleging a breach of the requirements of this Convention (including seafarers’ rights) may be reported to an authorized officer in the port at which the seafarer’s ship has called. In such cases, the authorized officer shall undertake an initial investigation.

2. Where appropriate, given the nature of the complaint, the initial investigation shall include consideration of whether the onboard complaint procedures provided under Regulation 5.1.5 have been explored. The authorized officer may also conduct a more detailed inspection in accordance with Standard A5.2.1.

3. The authorized officer shall, where appropriate, seek to promote a resolution of the complaint at the ship-board level.

4. In the event that the investigation or the inspection provided under this Standard reveals a nonconformity that falls within the scope of paragraph 6 of Standard A5.2.1, the provisions of that paragraph shall be applied.

5. Where the provisions of paragraph 4 of this Standard do not apply, and the complaint has not been resolved at the shipboard level, the authorized officer shall forthwith notify the flag State, seeking, within a prescribed deadline, advice and a corrective plan of action.

6. Where the complaint has not been resolved following action taken in accordance with paragraph 5 of this Standard, the port State shall transmit a copy of the authorized officer’s report to the Director-General. The report must be accompanied by any reply received within the prescribed deadline from the competent authority of the flag State. The appropriate shipowners’ and seafarers’ organizations in the port State shall be similarly informed. In addition, statistics and information regarding complaints that have been resolved shall be regularly submitted by the port State to the Director-General. Both such submissions are provided in order that, on the basis of such action as may be considered appropriate and expedient, a record is kept of such information and is brought to the attention of parties, including shipowners’ and seafarers’ organizations, which might be interested in availing themselves of relevant recourse procedures.

7. Appropriate steps shall be taken to safeguard the confidentiality of complaints made by seafarers.

Guideline B5.2.2 – Onshore seafarer complaint-handling procedures

1. Where a complaint referred to in Standard A5.2.2 is dealt with by an authorized officer, the officer should first check whether the complaint is of a general nature which concerns all seafarers on the ship, or a category of them, or whether it relates only to the individual case of the seafarer concerned.

2. If the complaint is of a general nature, consideration should be given to undertaking a more detailed inspection in accordance with Standard A5.2.1.

3. If the complaint relates to an individual case, an examination of the results of any on-board complaint procedures for the resolution of the complaint concerned should be undertaken. If such procedures have not been explored, the authorized officer should suggest that the complainant take advantage of any such procedures available. There should be good reasons for considering a complaint before any on-board complaint procedures have been explored. These would include the inadequacy of, or undue delay in, the internal procedures or the complainant’s fear of reprisal for lodging a complaint.

4. In any investigation of a complaint, the authorized officer should give the master, the shipowner and any other person involved in the complaint a proper opportunity to make known their views.

5. In the event that the flag State demonstrates, in response to the notification by the port State in accordance with paragraph 5 of Standard A5.2.2, that it will handle the matter, and that it has in place effective procedures for this purpose and has submitted an acceptable plan of action, the authorized officer may refrain from any further involvement with the complaint.

Regulation 5.3 – Labour-supplying responsibilities

Purpose: To ensure that each Member implements its responsibilities under this Convention as pertaining to seafarer recruitment and placement and the social protection of its seafarers

1. Without prejudice to the principle of each Member’s responsibility for the working and living conditions of seafarers on ships that fly its flag, the Member also has a responsibility to ensure the implementation of the requirements of this Convention regarding the recruitment and placement of seafarers as well as the social security protection of seafarers that are its nationals or are resident or are otherwise domiciled in its territory, to the extent that such responsibility is provided for in this Convention.

2. Detailed requirements for the implementation of paragraph 1 of this Regulation are found in the Code.

3. Each Member shall establish an effective inspection and monitoring system for enforcing its labour-supplying responsibilities under this Convention.

4. Information about the system referred to in paragraph 3 of this Regulation, including the method used for assessing its effectiveness, shall be included in the Member’s reports pursuant to article 22 of the Constitution.

Standard A5.3 – Labour-supplying responsibilities

1. Each Member shall enforce the requirements of this Convention applicable to the operation and practice of seafarer recruitment and placement services established on its territory through a system of inspection and monitoring and legal proceedings for breaches of licensing and other operational requirements provided for in Standard A1.4.

Guideline B5.3 – Labour-supplying responsibilities

1. Private seafarer recruitment and placement services established in the Member’s territory and securing the services of a seafarer for a shipowner, wherever located, should be required to assume obligations to ensure the proper fulfilment by shipowners of the terms of their employment agreements concluded with seafarers.

(State below the measures drawn up to ensure compliance with each of the items in Part I)

1. Minimum age (Regulation 1.1) [X]

Date of birth of each seafarer is noted against his/her name on the crew list.

The list is checked at the beginning of each voyage by the master or officer acting on his or her behalf («competent officer»), who records the date of such verification.

Each seafarer under 18 receives, at the time of engagement, a note prohibiting him/ her from performing night work or the work specifically listed as hazardous (see Part I, section 1, above) and any other hazardous work, and requiring him/her to consult the competent officer in case of doubt.

The medical certificates are kept in strict confidence by the competent officer, together with a list, prepared under the competent officer’s responsibility and stating for each seafarer on board: the functions of the seafarer, the date of the current medical certificate(s) and the health status noted on the certificate concerned. In any case of possible doubt as to whether the seafarer is medically fit for a particular function or functions, the competent officer consults the seafarer’s doctor or another qualified practitioner and records a summary of the practitioner’s conclusions, as well as the practitioner’s name and telephone number and the date of the consultation.

KONVENCIJA O RADU POMORACA, 2006

PREAMBULA

Opšta konferencija Međunarodne organizacije rada,

Sazvana u Ženevi od strane Upravnog odbora Međunarodne kancelarije rada, koja se sastala na svom devedeset četvrtom zasedanju 7. februara 2006. godine,

U želji da sačini jedan, jedinstveni instrument koji bi u najvećoj mogućoj meri obuhvatio sve najnovije standarde postojećih konvencija i preporuka o međunarodnom radu pomoraca, kao i osnovna načela koja se mogu naći u drugim međunarodnim konvencijama o radu, naročito u:

– Konvenciji o prisilnom radu, usvojene 1930. godine (br. 29),

– Konvenciji o slobodi udruživanja i zaštiti prava na organizovanje, usvojene 1948. godine (br. 87),

– Konvenciji o organizovanju i kolektivnom pregovaranju, usvojene 1949. godine (br. 98),

– Konvenciji o jednakim platama, usvojene 1951. godine (br. 100),

– Konvenciji o oslobađanju od prisilnog rada, usvojene 1957. godine (br. 105),

– Konvenciji o diskriminaciji (zaposlenje i zanimanje), usvojene 1958. godine (br. 111),

– Konvenciji o najnižim godinama života, usvojene 1973. godine (br. 138),

– Konvenciji o najgorim oblicima rada dece, usvojene 1999. godine (br. 182),

imajući u vidu osnovni zadatak Organizacije da promoviše dostojne uslove rada, i

podsećajući na Deklaraciju MOR-a o temeljnim načelima i pravima na radu iz 1998. godine, i

imajući u vidu, takođe, da se na pomorce primenjuju odredbe drugih instrumenata MOR-a, kao i da pomorci imaju prava koja su utvrđena kao osnovna prava i slobode primenjiva na sva lica, i

uzimajući u obzir da, s obzirom na globalnu prirodu brodarske industrije, pomorci zahtevaju posebnu zaštitu, i

imajući na umu takođe međunarodne standarde o bezbednosti broda, zaštiti ljudi i kvalitetu upravljanja brodovima utvrđene u Međunarodnoj konvenciji o zaštiti ljudskog života na moru, usvojene 1974. godine, kako je izmenjena i dopunjena, Konvenciju o međunarodnim pravilima o izbegavanju sudara na moru, usvojenu 1972. godine, kako je izmenjena i dopunjena, kao i zahteve za obuku i osposobljenost pomoraca koji su utvrđeni u Međunarodnoj konvenciji o standardima za obuku, izdavanje uverenja i vršenje brodske straže pomoraca, usvojene 1978. godine, kako je izmenjena i dopunjena, i

podsećajući da Konvencija Ujedinjenih nacija o pravu mora, usvojene 1982. godine, uspostavlja opšti pravni okvir unutar kojeg se moraju odvijati sve aktivnosti na okeanima i morima i da je ona od strateškog interesa kao osnova za nacionalna, regionalna i globalna delovanja i saradnju u oblasti pomorskih poslova, kao i da je njen integritet potrebno održati, i

podsećajući da član 94. Konvencije Ujedinjenih nacija o pravu mora, usvojena 1982. godine, utvrđuje dužnosti i obaveze države zastave, pored ostalog i s obzirom na radne uslove, posadu i socijalna pitanja na brodovima koji plove pod njihovom zastavom, i

podsećajući na stav 8. člana 19. Ustava Međunarodne organizacije rada koji predviđa da usvajanje bilo koje konvencije ili preporuke od strane Konferencije ili ratifikacija bilo koje konvencije od strane bilo koje članice, ni u kojem slučaju ne utiče na zakon, presudu, običaj ili ugovor koji obezbeđuje povoljnije uslove za odnosne radnike od onih koji su predviđeni u konvenciji ili preporuci, i

rešene da ovom novom instrumentu treba obezbediti najveću moguću prihvatljivost između vlada, brodovlasnika i pomoraca obavezanih načelima dostojnog rada, da treba omogućiti njegovo lako osavremenjivanje, kao i uspešnu primenu, i

OBJAŠNjENjE O TUMAČENjU PRAVILA I KODEKSA KONVENCIJE O RADU POMORACA

1. Objašnjenje o tumačenju nije deo Konvencije o radu pomoraca, nego je njegova namena da da opšta uputstva o Konvenciji.

2. Konvencija obuhvata tri različita, ali povezana dela: Članove, Pravila i Kodeks.

3. Članovi i Pravila izražavaju suštinu prava i načela i temeljne obaveze potvrđujućih članica Konvencije. Članove i Pravila može izmeniti i dopuniti samo Konferencija prema članu 19. Ustava Međunarodne organizacije rada (vidi član XIV Konvencije).

4. Kodeks sadrži pojedinosti za primenu Pravila. On obuhvata Deo A (obavezni Standardi) i Deo B (neobavezne Smernice). Kodeks se može izmeniti pojednostavljenim postupkom propisanim u članu XV Konvencije. Budući da se Kodeks odnosi na detaljniju primenu, njegove izmene i dopune moraju ostati unutar opšteg okvira članova i pravila.

5. Pravila i Kodeks su definisani u glavnim područjima u pet Poglavlja:

Poglavlje 1: Najmanji zahtevi za rad pomoraca na brodu

Poglavlje 2: Uslovi za zaposlenje

Poglavlje 3: Smeštaj, sredstva za odmor, prehrana i posluživanje hrane

Poglavlje 4: Zaštita zdravlja, zdravstvena nega, socijalna pomoć i bezbednost

Poglavlje 5: Usklađenost i primena

6. Svako poglavlje sadrži grupu odredbi koje se odnose na posebno pravo ili načelo (ili izvršna mera u Poglavlju 5.) koje su povezane brojevima. Prva grupa u Poglavlju 1., na primer, sastoji se od Pravila 1. 1., Standarda A 1. 1. i Smernice B 1. 1. koji se odnose na najmanje životno doba.

7. Konvencija ima tri istaknuta cilja:

(a) da utvrdi, svojim članovima i pravilima, čvrstu grupu prava i načela;

(b) da omogući, kroz Kodeks, poželjan stepen slobodnog postupanja članica u pogledu primene ovih prava i načela; i

8. Postoje dva glavna područja slobode u primeni: jedno je mogućnost da članica, kad je to potrebno (vidi stav 3. člana VI), primeni detaljnije zahteve Dela A Kodeksa kroz suštinski jednako postupanje (kako je utvrđeno u stavu 4. člana VI).

9. Drugo područje slobode u primeni je predviđeno izražavanjem obaveznih zahteva mnogih odredbi Dela A na opštiji način, čime je ostavljen širi okvir za slobodniju odluku u pogledu određene radnje koja će se utvrditi na državnom nivou. U takvim slučajevima, vodič za primenu nalazi se u neobaveznom Delu B Kodeksa. Na taj način članice koje su potvrdile ovu Konvenciju mogu odrediti vrstu radnje koja se od njih može očekivati prema odgovarajućoj opštoj obavezi iz Dela A, kao i radnju koju ne bi trebalo nužno zahtevati. Na primer, Standard A 4.1. zahteva da brodovi imaju brz pristup do potrebnih lekova za medicinsku pomoć na brodu (stav 1. (b)) i da imaju zdravstveni ormarić (stav 4. (a)). Ispunjenje u dobroj veri ove poslednje obaveze znači nešto više od posedovanja zdravstvenog ormarića na svakom brodu. Detaljnije objašnjenje o navedenom dato je u odgovarajućoj Smernici B 4. 1. 1. (stav 4.) kojom se obezbeđuje da su sadržaji ormarića ispravno popunjeni, korišćeni i održavani.

10. Članice koje su potvrdile ovu Konvenciju nisu obavezane tom Smernicom i, kako je navedeno u odredbama Poglavlja 5. o nadzoru države luke, inspekcije treba da postupaju samo prema odgovarajućim zahtevima ove Konvencije (Članovi, Pravila i Standardi u Delu A). Međutim, članice su dužne prema stavu 2. člana VI da obrate dužnu pažnju u pogledu ispunjenja svojih obaveza iz Dela A Kodeksa na način predviđen u Delu B. Ako je, proučivši odgovarajuće Smernice na ispravan način, članica odlučila da uvede različite mere koje će obezbediti odgovarajuće popunjavanje, upotrebu i održavanje sadržaja zdravstvenog ormarića, uzimajući prethodno naveden primer, kako to zahteva Standard u Delu A, tada je on prihvatljiv. S druge strane, postupajući po Smernici predviđenoj u Delu B pojedina članica kao i tela MOR-a odgovorna za preispitivanje primene međunarodnih konvencija o radu mogu biti sigurne, bez daljnjih razmatranja, da su mere članice, predviđene za odgovarajuću primenu obaveza prema Delu A na koje se Smernica odnosi, primerene.

PRAVILA I KODEKS

POGLAVLjE 1. NAJMANjI ZAHTEVI ZA RAD POMORACA NA BRODU

Pravilo 1. 1. – Najmanje godine života

Cilj: Obezbediti da na brodu ne rade lica ispod određenih godina života

3. Izuzetak od strogog ograničenja noćnog rada može da dopusti nadležna vlast ako bi:

(a) efikasna obuka pomoraca u skladu sa utvrđenim programima i planovima bila onemogućena, ili

(b) posebna priroda dužnosti ili priznati program uvežbavanja zahtevali da pomorci na koje se odnosi izuzetak obavljaju dužnosti noću, a vlast utvrdi, nakon konsultacija sa zainteresovanim organizacijama brodovlasnika i pomoraca, da rad neće biti štetan za njihovo zdravlje ili dobrobit.

4. Zaposlenje, uzimanje na rad ili rad pomoraca mlađih od 18 godina mora biti zabranjen ako postoji verovatnoća da će rad ugroziti njihovo zdravlje ili bezbednost. Vrste takvog rada moraju biti određene nacionalnim zakonima, pravilima ili odlukama nadležne vlasti, nakon konsultacija sa zainteresovanim organizacijama brodovlasnika i pomoraca, u skladu s odgovarajućim međunarodnim standardima.

Smernica B 1. 1. – Najmanje godine života

1. Kad uređuju radne i životne uslove, članice treba da obrate posebnu pažnju na potrebe lica mlađih od 18 godina.

Cilj: Obezbediti da su svi pomorci zdravstveno sposobni za obavljanje svojih dužnosti na moru.

1. Pomorci ne smeju da rade na brodu ako nije utvrđeno da su zdravstveno sposobni da obavljaju svoje dužnosti.

2. Izuzeci mogu biti dopušteni samo na način propisan u Kodeksu.

Standard A 1. 2. – Uverenje o zdravstvenom stanju

1. Nadležna vlast mora zahtevati da, pre početka rada na brodu, pomorci imaju odgovarajuće uverenje o zdravstvenom stanju kojim se potvrđuje da su zdravstveno sposobni da obavljaju dužnosti koje će im biti poverene na moru.

2. Da bi se obezbedilo da uverenja o zdravstvenom stanju istinito odražavaju zdravstveno stanje pomorca, u pogledu dužnosti koje oni obavljaju, nadležna vlast mora da, nakon konsultacija sa zainteresovanim organizacijama brodovlasnika i pomoraca i obraćajući punu pažnju na primenjive međunarodne smernice navedene u Delu B ovog Kodeksa, propiše prirodu zdravstvenog pregleda i uverenja o zdravstvenom stanju.

3. Ovaj Standard ne zadire u Međunarodnu konvenciju o standardima za obuku, izdavanje uverenja i vršenje brodske straže pomoraca, usvojene 1978. godine, kako je izmenjen i dopunjena (u daljem tekstu: STCW). Uverenje o zdravstvenom stanju izdato u skladu sa zahtevima STCW nadležna vlast će prihvatiti u svrhu Pravila 1. 2. Uverenja o zdravstvenom stanju koje odgovara tim bitnim zahtevima, u slučaju pomoraca na koje se ne odnosi STCW, takođe će biti prihvaćena.

4. Uverenje o zdravstvenom stanju treba da izda na odgovarajući način osposobljen lekar ili, u slučaju uverenja koje se odnosi samo na vid, lice koje je nadležna vlast priznala sposobnom za izdavanje takvog uverenja. Lekari moraju da uživaju punu stručnu nezavisnost pri obavljanju pregleda u postupku zdravstvenih pregleda.

5. Pomorci kojima je odbijeno izdavanje uverenja o zdravstvenom stanju ili im je ograničena sposobnost za rad, naročito s obzirom na vreme, domen rada ili područje poslovanja, moraju imati pravo na daljnji pregled drugog nezavisnog lekara ili nezavisnog zdravstvenog arbitra.

6. Svako uverenje o zdravstvenom stanju mora da utvrdi pre svega:

(a) da su sluh i vid pomorca, kao i razlikovanje boja u slučaju pomorca koji će biti zaposlen na poslovima gde sposobnost za rad koji će obavljati može biti ograničena zbog nerazlikovanja boja, zadovoljeni; i

(b) da pomorac nije takvog zdravstvenog stanja koje bi moglo biti pogoršano radom na moru, učiniti ga nesposobnim za takvu službu ili štetiti zdravlju drugih lica na brodu.

7. Osim u kraćem periodu zbog posebnih dužnosti koje će zainteresovani pomorac obavljati ili ako to zahteva STCW:

(a) trajanje uverenja o zdravstvenom stanju mora biti najviše dve godine, osim ako je pomorac mlađi od 18 godina, u tom slučaju uverenje važi godinu dana;

(b) uverenje o razlikovanju boja važiće najduže šest godina.

8. U hitnim slučajevima, nadležna vlast može dopustiti pomorcu rad bez odgovarajućeg uverenja o zdravstvenom stanju do naredne luke pristajanja u kojoj pomorac može dobiti uverenje o zdravstvenom stanju od lekara pod uslovom da:

(a) period takvog dopuštanja ne prelazi tri meseca; i

(b) da pomorac poseduje nedavno izdato isteklo uverenje o zdravstvenom stanju.

9. Ako ispravnost uverenja istekne tokom putovanja, uverenje će ostati na snazi do naredne luke pristajanja gde pomorac može da dobije uverenje o zdravstvenom stanju od ovlašćenog lekara pod uslovom da taj period ne traje duže od tri meseca.

10. Uverenja o zdravstvenom stanju pomoraca koji rade na brodovima, a koji su redovno zaposleni na međunarodnim putovanjima, moraju biti najmanje na engleskom jeziku.

Smernica B 1. 2. – Uverenja o zdravstvenom stanjuSmernica B 1. 2. 1. – Međunarodne smernice

Nadležna vlast, lekari, ispitivači, brodovlasnici, predstavnici pomoraca i sva druga lica koja se bave zdravstvenim pregledima radi utvrđivanja zdravstvene sposobnosti kandidata za pomorce ili zaposlenih pomoraca, moraju da se pridržavaju ILO/WHO Smernica o sprovođenju redovnih i povremenih pregleda zdravstvene sposobnosti pomoraca, uključujući naknadne izmene tih Smernica i svih drugih primenjivih međunarodnih smernica koje je objavila Međunarodna organizacija rada, Međunarodna pomorska organizacija i Svetska zdravstvena organizacija.

Pravilo 1. 3. – Obuka i osposobljavanje

Cilj: Obezbediti da su pomorci obučeni ili osposobljeni za obavljanje svojih dužnosti na brodu

1. Pomorci smeju da rade na brodu samo ako su obučeni ili proglašeni sposobnim ili na drugi način osposobljeni za obavljanje svojih dužnosti.

2. Pomorcima se ne sme dopustiti rad na brodu ako nisu uspešno završili obuku lične bezbednosti na brodu.

3. Kao obuka i provera u skladu sa obaveznim dokumentima koje je usvojila Međunarodna pomorska organizacija smatraće se ispunjavanje zahteva iz st. 1. i 2. ovog Pravila.

4. Svaka članica koja je u vreme potvrđivanja ove Konvencije bila obavezana Konvencijom o kvalifikovanom mornaru, usvojene 1946. godine (br. 74), mora da nastavi da ispunjava obaveze iz te Konvencije dok obavezne odredbe koje se odnose na taj predmet ne usvoji Međunarodna pomorska organizacija i dok one ne stupe na snagu, ili dok ne protekne rok od pet godina od stupanja na snagu ove Konvencije u skladu sa stavom 3. člana VIII, u zavisnosti od toga šta je ranije.

Pravilo 1. 4. – Angažovanje i zapošljavanje

Cilj: Obezbediti pristup pouzdanom i dobro uređenom sistemu pribavljanja i zapošljavanja pomoraca

1. Svi pomorci moraju da imaju pristup efikasnom i odgovarajućem sistemu za pronalaženje zaposlenja na brodu koji je za njih besplatan.

2. Službe za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca koje rade na teritoriji države članice moraju da odgovaraju standardima utvrđenim u Kodeksu.

3. Svaka članica mora da zahteva za pomorce koji rade na brodovima koji plove pod njenom zastavom, da brodovlasnici koji koriste službe za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca u zemljama ili na teritorijama država na koje se ne primenjuje ova Konvencija, obezbede da ove službe ispunjavaju zahteve utvrđene u Kodeksu.

Standard A 1. 4. – Angažovanje i zapošljavanje

1. Svaka članica koja ima javnu službu za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca mora da obezbedi da služba radi uredno, na način kojim se štite i unapređuju prava o zaposlenju pomoraca kako su predviđena ovom Konvencijom.

2. Ako članica ima privatne službe za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca koje rade na njenoj teritoriji, čiji je prevashodni cilj angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca ili koje angažuju i zapošljavaju značajan broj pomoraca, one moraju da rade samo u skladu sa standardizovanim sistemom koncesija ili overa ili drugim oblikom uređivanja. Ovaj sistem će biti ustanovljen, prilagođen ili menjan samo nakon konsultacija sa zainteresovanim organizacijama brodovlasnika i pomoraca. U slučaju sumnje da li se primenjuje ova Konvencija na privatne službe za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca, odluku o tome doneće nadležna vlast u svakoj članici nakon konsultacija sa zainteresovanim organizacijama brodovlasnika i pomoraca. Prekomerno povećanje broja privatnih službi za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca neće se podsticati.

3. Odredbe stava 2. ovog Standarda takođe se primenjuju – u obimu u kojem je određen od strane nadležne vlasti, u konsultacijama sa zainteresovanim organizacijama brodovlasnika i pomoraca, kao odgovarajuće – u odnosu na službe angažovanja i zapošljavanja pomoraca kojima upravljaju organizacije pomoraca na teritoriji države članice za angažovanje pomoraca koji su državljani te članice na brodove koji plove pod njenom zastavom. Službe na koje se odnosi ovaj stav su one koje ispunjavaju sledeće uslove:

(a) da služba za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca deluje prema ugovoru o kolektivnom pregovaranju između organizacije i brodovlasnika;

(b) da se organizacija pomoraca i organizacija brodovlasnika nalaze na teritoriji članice;

(c) da članica ima nacionalne zakone ili pravila ili postupak za odobravanje ili upisnik ugovora o kolektivnom pregovaranju koji dopušta rad službe za angažovanje i zapošljavanje;

(d) da služba za angažovanje i zapošljavanje radi na odgovarajući način, a da su mere koje preduzima u pogledu zaštite i promovisanja prava zapošljavanja pomoraca uporedive sa onima koje su predviđene u stavu 5. ovog Standarda.

4. Ništa u ovom Standardu ili Pravilu 1. 4. neće se smatrati da:

(a) sprečava članicu u održavanju nezavisne javne službe za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca u okviru politike koja odgovara potrebama pomoraca i brodovlasnika, bez obzira da li su te službe deo javne službe zapošljavanja za sve radnike i poslodavce ili sa njima usklađene; ili

(b) nameće članici obavezu da ustanovi sistem za rad privatnih službi za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca na svojoj teritoriji.

5. Članica koja usvaja sistem naveden u stavu 2. ovog Standarda mora svojim zakonima i pravilima ili drugim merama barem da:

(a) zabrani službama za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca korišćenje sredstava, mehanizama ili popisa namenjenih sprečavanju ili odvraćanju pomoraca od dobijanja zaposlenja za koje su oni osposobljeni;

(b) zahteva da pomorac ne snosi, direktno ili indirektno, u potpunosti ili delimično, nikakve takse ili druge naknade za angažovanje ili zapošljavanje pomoraca ili za davanje zaposlenja pomorcima, osim troška za pribavljanje obaveznog uverenja o zdravstvenom stanju, pomorske knjižice i pasoša ili druge slične lične putne isprave, ali ne uključuje trošak za vize koje mora da snosi brodovlasnik; i

(i) vode i ažuriraju upisnik svih pomoraca koji su preko njih angažovani ili zaposleni kako bi bio dostupan za inspekciju nadležne vlasti;

(ii) obezbede da su pomorci obavešteni o svojim pravima i dužnostima prema njihovim ugovorima o zaposlenju pre ili u postupku zaposlenja, kao i da su preduzete odgovarajuće mere da pomorci prouče svoje ugovore o zaposlenju pre i nakon što su ga potpisali i za njih preuzmu kopiju ugovora;

(iii) provere da li su pomorci koje su angažovali ili zaposlili osposobljeni, da li imaju isprave potrebne za određeni posao, kao i da li su ugovori o zaposlenju pomoraca u skladu sa zakonima i pravilima i bilo kojim ugovorom o kolektivnom pregovaranju koji čini deo ugovora o zaposlenju;

(iv) obezbede, koliko je to moguće, da brodovlasnik ima sredstva za zaštitu pomoraca koji su iskrcani u stranoj luci;

(v) prouče i odgovore na svaki prigovor na svoje delovanje i obaveste nadležnu vlast o svakom nerešenom prigovoru;

(vi) ustanove sistem zaštite putem osiguranja ili druge jednakovredne odgovarajuće mere radi naknade novčanog gubitka pomorcima koji može nastati kao posledica propusta službe za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca ili pojedinog brodovlasnika po ugovoru o zaposlenju pomorca, kako bi ispunili svoje obaveze prema njima.

6. Nadležna vlast mora pažljivo nadgledati i nadzirati sve službe za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca koje rade na njenoj teritoriji. Sve dozvole, svedočanstva ili slična ovlašćenja za rad privatnih službi na teritoriji te članice moraju da budu izdati ili obnovljeni samo nakon provere da li pojedina služba za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca ispunjava zahteve nacionalnih zakona i pravila.

7. Nadležna vlast mora obezbediti postojanje odgovarajućih mehanizama i postupaka za istraživanje, ako je potrebno, prigovora o delatnostima službi za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca, uključujući u taj postupak i, kad je to odgovarajuće, predstavnike brodovlasnika i pomoraca.

8. Svaka članica koja je potvrdila ovu Konvenciju mora, ukoliko je to moguće, obavestiti svoje državljane o mogućim problemima u pogledu stupanja u službu na brodu koji plovi pod zastavom države koja nije potvrdila Konvenciju, dok se ne uvere da su primenjeni standardi suštinski jednaki onima utvrđenim ovom Konvencijom. Mere koje je u tom cilju preduzela članica koja je potvrdila Konvenciju ne smeju da budu u suprotnosti sa načelom slobode kretanja radnika utvrđenim u ugovorima čije strane mogu biti te dve države.

9. Svaka članica koja je potvrdila ovu Konvenciju mora da zahteva da brodovlasnici brodova koji plove pod njenom zastavom, a koji koriste službe za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca u zemljama ili na teritorijama država na kojima se ova Konvencija ne primenjuje, obezbede, u meri u kojoj je to moguće, da ove službe ispunjavaju zahteve ovog Standarda.

10. Ništa u ovom Standardu neće se tumačiti u smislu da smanjuje obaveze i odgovornosti brodovlasnika ili članice u odnosu na brodove koji plove pod njenom zastavom.

Smernica B 1. 4. – Angažovanje i zapošljavanjeSmernica B 1. 4. 1. – Organizacione i operativne smernice

1. Kad ispunjava svoje obaveze iz stava 1. Standarda A 1. 4., nadležna vlast treba da razmotri:

(a) preduzimanje potrebnih mera za podsticanje uspešne saradnje između službi za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca, bez obzira da li su one javne ili privatne;

(b) potrebe pomorstva na državnom ili međunarodnom nivou kada sačinjavaju programe obuke za pomorce koji čine deo brodske posade odgovorne za bezbednu plovidbu broda i delatnosti sprečavanja zagađivanja, uz učešće brodovlasnika, pomoraca i odgovarajućih ustanova za obuku;

(c) preduzimanje odgovarajućih mera za saradnju predstavničkih organizacija brodovlasnika i pomoraca u organizaciji i radu javnih službi za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca, gde one postoje;

(d) utvrđivanje prava na privatnost i potrebu zaštite tajnosti, uslova pod kojima službe za angažovanje i zapošljavanje mogu postupati sa ličnim podacima pomoraca, uključujući sakupljanje, arhiviranje, sastavljanje i saopštavanje takvih podataka trećim stranama;

(e) održavanje mehanizma za prikupljanje i analizu svih odgovarajućih informacija o tržištu rada pomoraca, uključujući sadašnje i buduće angažovanje pomoraca za rad kao članova posade razvrstane po godinama života, polu, položaju, stručnoj osposobljenosti i zahtevima pomorske privrede, sakupljanje podataka o godinama života ili polu upotrebljivih samo u statističke svrhe ili za korišćenje u okviru programa sprečavanja diskriminacije zasnovane na godinama života ili polu;

(f) obezbeđenje da je osoblje odgovorno za nadzor javnih i privatnih službi za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca za brodsku posadu odgovornu za bezbednu plovidbu broda i sprečavanje zagađivanja, odgovarajuće osposobljeno, uključujući priznato iskustvo na moru i odgovarajuće znanje o pomorskom brodarstvu, kao i odgovarajuće međunarodne pomorske instrumente o standardima za obuku, izdavanje uverenja i radu;

(g) propisivanje radnih standarda i usvajanje kodeksa o postupanju i etičkoj praksi u službama za angažovanje i zapošljavanja pomoraca; i

(h) obavljanje nadzora sistema dozvola ili potvrda na osnovu sistema standarda kvaliteta.

2. Pri utvrđivanju sistema navedenog u stavu 2. Standarda A 1. 4., svaka članica treba da razmotri zahteve službi za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca osnovanih na njenoj teritoriji, kao i da razvija i održava proverenu radnu praksu. Ova radna praksa privatnih službi za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca u obimu koji je primenjiv za javne službe za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca treba da se odnosi na sledeće:

(a) zdravstvene preglede, isprave o identitetu pomoraca, i druga takva pitanja koja se mogu zahtevati za zapošljavanje pomoraca;

(b) održavanje, uzimajući u obzir pravo na privatnost i potrebu zaštite tajnosti, potpune i obimne evidencije pomoraca koje se odnose na sistem angažovanja i zapošljavanja pomoraca koji treba uključiti, ali se ne ograničavati na:

(i) osposobljavanje pomoraca;

(ii) evidenciju zapošljavanja;

(iii) lične podatke o zapošljavanju; i

(iv) zdravstvene podatke o odgovarajućem zapošljavanju.

(c) ažurirati popis brodova za koje službe za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca angažuju pomorce, kao i obezbediti postojanje sredstava na osnovu kojih će u svakom trenutku biti moguće ostvariti vezu sa službama;

(d) postupke koji će obezbediti da pomorci nisu podvrgnuti iskorišćavanju službi za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca i njihovog osoblja s obzirom na ponudu zaposlenja na pojedinim brodovima ili kod pojedinih društava;

2. Ništa se u ovoj Smernici neće smatrati štetnim u odnosu na dogovor koji je postignut između brodovlasnika i njihovih organizacija i organizacija pomoraca u pogledu uređenja najmanjih standardnih zahteva i uslova zaposlenja, ako je takve zahteve i uslove priznala nadležna vlast.

Pravilo 2. 3. – Sati rada i sati odmora

Cilj: Obezbediti da pomorci imaju propisane sate rada i sate odmora

1. Svaka članica mora da obezbedi da sati rada i sati odmora pomoraca budu uređeni.

2. Svaka članica mora da utvrdi najveći broj sati rada ili najmanji broj sati odmora u određenim periodima koji su u skladu sa odredbama u Kodeksu.

Standard A 2. 3. – Sati rada i sati odmora

1. U svrhu ovog Standarda, izraz:

(a) sati rada znači sate tokom kojih se od pomoraca zahteva da rade za korist broda;

3. Svaka članica potvrđuje da se standard redovnih radnih sati za pomorce, jednak onom za ostale radnike, mora zasnivati na osam sati dnevno sa jednim danom odmora nedeljno i odmorom na dan javnih praznika. Međutim, ovo ne sprečava članicu da svojim postupcima dopusti ili pruži zakonsku zaštitu kolektivnom ugovoru koji utvrđuje radne sate pomoraca na osnovama koje nisu nepovoljnije od ovog standarda.

4. Pri određivanju nacionalnih standarda, svaka članica mora da uzme u obzir opasnost od premora pomoraca, posebno onih čije se dužnosti odnose na bezbednost plovibe i uredan i bezbedan rad broda.

5. Broj sati rada ili sati odmora moraju biti uređeni na sladeći način:

(a) najveći broj sati rada ne sme biti veći od:

(i) 14 sati tokom bilo koja 24 sata; i

(ii) 72 sata tokom bilo kojih sedam dana;

ili

(b) najmanji broj sati odmora ne sme biti manji od:

(i) 10 sati tokom bilo koja 24 sata; i

(ii) 77 sati tokom bilo kojih sedam dana.

6. Sati odmora mogu se podeliti u najviše dva dela od kojih jedan mora da traje najmanje 6 sati, a razmak između uzastopnih perioda odmora ne sme da prelazi 14 sati.

7. Smotre, vežbe protivpožarne zaštite, vežbe sa čamcima za spašavanje i vežbe propisane nacionalnim zakonima i pravilima i međunarodnim dokumentima moraju da se vodi na način koji će što manje ometati vreme odmora i neće dovesti do premora.

8. Kada je pomorac na dužnosti, kao što je to slučaj u mašinskom prostoru bez stalne posade, pomorac mora da ima odgovarajuće dodatno vreme odmora ako je redovno vreme odmora poremećeno pozivima na rad.

9. Ako ne postoji kolektivni ugovor ili arbitražna odluka ili ako nadležna vlast smatra da su odredbe ugovora ili odluke s obzirom na st. 7. i 8. ovog Standarda neodgovarajuće, nadležna vlast doneće takve odredbe koje će obezbediti pomorcima dovoljan odmor.

10. Svaka članica mora da zahteva postavljanje, na lako dostupnom mestu, ploče sa rasporedom rada na brodu koja za svako radno mesto mora da sadrži najmanje:

(a) raspored službe na moru i službe u luci; i

12. Svaka članica mora da zahteva vođenje evidencije dnevnih sati rada ili dnevnih sati odmora kako bi se omogućilo praćenje ispunjavanja zahteva iz stava 5. – 11. ovog Standarda. Evidencija mora biti u standardnom obliku koji je utvrdila nadležna vlast uzimajući u obzir sve raspoložive smernice Međunarodne organizacije rada, ili u nekom standardnom obliku koji je pripremila Organizacija. Ona mora biti na jezicima koje zahteva stav 11. ovog Standarda. Pomorci moraju da dobiju kopiju svoje evidencije koju mora da potvrdi zapovednik ili od njega ovlašćeno lice i pomorac.

13. Ništa u st. 5. i 6. ovog Standarda ne sprečava članicu da svojim zakonima ili pravilima ili postupkom nadležne vlasti, kolektivnim ugovorima dopusti ili pruži zakonsku zaštitu za izuzetke od utvrđenih raspona. Takvi izuzeci moraju da, koliko je to moguće, slede odredbe ovog Standarda, ali mogu da uzmu u obzir i češće i duže periode odmora ili da odobri dodatni odmor za održavanje straže pomoraca ili rad pomoraca na brodovima na kraćim putovanjima.

14. Ništa se u ovom Standardu neće smatrati da ugrožava pravo zapovednika broda da zahteva od pomorca obavljanje rada potrebnog radi trenutne bezbednosti broda, lica na brodu ili tereta, ili u cilju pružanja pomoći drugim brodovima ili licima u opasnosti na moru. Prema tome, zapovednik može da obustavi raspored rada i odmora, kao i da zatraži od pomorca da odradi potrebne sate dok se ne uspostavi redovno stanje. Čim je to moguće, nakon što je uspostavljeno redovno stanje zapovednik mora da obezbedi da svi pomorci koji su obavljali rad u planiranom periodu odmora dobiju odgovarajući period odmora.

(b) bi mogla biti onemogućena efikasna obuka mladih pomoraca u skladu sa utvrđenim programima i planovima.

3. Takve izuzetne okolnosti treba zabeležiti, uz navođenje razloga, a nakon toga treba da ih potpiše zapovednik.

4. Stav 1. ove Smernice ne oslobađa mlade pomorce od opšte obaveze svih pomoraca da rade u nuždi, kako je predviđeno stavom 14. Standarda A 2. 3.

Pravilo 2. 4. – Pravo na odmor

Ako nacionalno zakonodavstvo u potpunosti primenjuje zahteve utvrđene u ovoj Konvenciji, pozivanje može biti sve što je potrebno. Ako je odredba Konvencije primenjena putem u značajnoj meri jednakog rešenja kako predviđa stav 3. člana VI., ovu odredbu treba da utvrdi i obezbedi sažeto objašnjenje. Kada je nadležna vlast priznala izuzeće, kako to predviđa III. Poglavlje, o tome treba da bude jasno naznačena posebna odredba ili odredbe.

2. Mere navedene u Delu II. Deklaracije o ispunjavanju uslova rada pomoraca koje je ispunio brodovlasnik, treba da, naročito, naznače prilike u kojima će stalno ispunjavanje posebnih zahteva, koje odobri nadležni državni organ, biti provereno, lica odgovorna za proveru, evidencije koje treba voditi i postupke koji će se preduzeti kada se utvrdi neispunjavanje. Deo II. može sda poprimi različite oblike. On se može pozivati na druge obimnije dokumente o politici i postupcima koji se odnose na druge aspekte pomorskog sektora, npr. isprave koje zahteva Međunarodni kodeks o bezbednom upravljanju (ISM Code) ili obaveštenje koje zahteva pravilo 5 SOLAS Konvencije, Poglavlje XI-1 koje se odnosi na Trajni sažeti zapis.

3. Mere kojima se obezbeđuje stalno ispunjavanje treba da uključe opšte međunarodne zahteve kako bi brodovlasnik i zapovednik bili upoznati sa najnovijim napretkom tehnologije, kao i sa naučnim otkrićima koja se odnose na izgled radnog mesta, vodeći računa o bitnim opasnostima za rad pomoraca, kao i da o tome budu obavešteni predstavnici pomoraca i pri tom garantovati viši nivo zaštite radnih i životnih uslova pomoraca.

4. Deklaracija o ispunjavanju uslova rada pomoraca treba pre svega da sadrži jasne izraze koji će pomoći svim zainteresovanim licima, kao što su inspektori države zastave, ovlašćeni službenici u državama luka i pomorci da provere da li su zahtevi pravilno primenjeni.

5. Primer podataka koje može da sadrži deklaracija o ispunjavanju uslova rada pomoraca dat je u Dodatku B5-I.

6. Kada brod promeni zastavu kako je navedeno u stavu 14. (c) Standarda A 5. 1. 3., i ako obe države potvrde ovu Konvenciju, članica pod čijom zastavom brod pre toga nije bio ovlašćen da plovi treba, čim je to moguće, nadležnoj vlasti druge članice dostaviti kopije svedočanstva o radu pomoraca i deklaracije o ispunjavanju uslova rada pomoraca koje je brod imao pre promene zastave i, ako je to moguće, kopije odgovarajućih izveštaja inspekcije ako nadležna vlast to zatraži u periodu od tri meseca od kada je izvršena promena zastave.

Pravilo 5. 1. 4. – Inspekcija i primena

1. Svaka članica mora da proverava, kroz efikasan i usklađen sistem redovnih inspekcija, praćenjem i drugim merama nadzora, da brodovi koji plove pod njenom zastavom ispunjavaju zahteve ove Konvencije kako su primenjeni u nacionalnim zakonima i pravilima.

2. Detaljni zahtevi koji se odnose na inspekciju i sistem primene iz stava 1. ovog Pravila utvrđeni su u Delu A Kodeksa.

Svaka članica mora da održava sistem inspekcije uslova za pomorce na brodovima koji plove pod njenom zastavom, koji mora da uključi proveru da li su mere koje se odnose na radne i životne uslove utvrđene u deklaraciji o ispunjavanju uslova rada primenjene, gde je to odgovarajuće, kao i da li su ispunjeni zahtevi ove Konvencije.

2. Nadležna vlast mora da imenuje dovoljan broj stručno osposobljenih inspektora radi ispunjavanja njenih obaveza iz stava 1. ovog Standarda. Tamo gde su priznate organizacije ovlašćene da sprovode inspekcije, članica mora da zahteva stručnost osoblja koje sprovodi inspekciju za sprovođenje ovih dužnosti i mora im dati potrebna pravna ovlašćenja za obavljanje njihovih dužnosti.

3. Potrebno je usvojiti odgovarajuće odredbe kojima će se obezbediti da su inspektori obučeni, osposobljeni, da imaju utvrđen domen rada, snagu, pravni položaj i nezavisnost, potrebnu ili poželjnu, koja će im omogućiti obavljanje provere i obezbediti ispunjavanje kako je navedeno u stavu 1. ovog Standarda.

4. Takve inspekcije moraju da se preduzimaju u odgovarajućim vremenskim razmacima koje zahteva Standard A 5. 1. 3. Ovaj period ni u kom slučaju ne sme da bude duži od tri godine.

5. Ako članica primi prigovor koji smatra očigledno osnovanim ili pribavi dokaz da brod koji plovi pod njenom zastavom ne ispunjava zahteve ove Konvencije ili da postoje ozbiljni nedostaci u primeni mera utvrđenih u deklaraciji o ispunjavanju uslova rada pomoraca, članica mora da preduzme korake potrebne da se taj predmet istraži, i obezbedi preduzimanje radnji za otklanjanje pronađenih nedostataka.

6. Svaka članica treba da predvidi odgovarajuća pravila i efikasno ih sprovodi, kako bi time garantovala da inspektori imaju pravni položaj i uslove službe koji će im obezbediti nezavisnost od promena vlade i nepovoljnih spoljnih uticaja.

7. Inspektori, nakon što su dobili jasna uputstva kako da obave poslove i nakon što su snabdeveni odgovarajućim akreditivima, moraju da budu ovlašćeni da:

(a) stupe na brod koji plovi pod zastavom članice;

(b) sprovedu proveru, ispitivanje ili istragu koje smatraju potrebnim da bi se uverili da su standardi bili ispravno primenjeni; i

8. Protiv svake radnje iz stava 7. (c) ovog Standarda dopuštena je žalba sudskoj ili upravnoj vlasti.

9. Inspektori imaju pravo da po sopstvenom nahođenju daju savet umesto da pokrenu postupak ili preporuče njegovo pokretanje u slučajevima kada ne postoji očigledno kršenje zahteva ove Konvencije koji ugrožava bezbednost, zdravlje ili zaštitu pomoraca, a ne postoji dokaz o ranijim sličnim kršenjima.

10. Inspektori moraju da smatraju poverljivim izvorom svaku pritužbu ili prigovor u kojima se navode opasnost ili nedostatak radnih i životnih uslova pomoraca ili povrede zakona i pravila, i ne smeju da stavljaju do znanja brodovlasniku, njegovom predstavniku ili operateru broda da je inspekcija obavljena kao posledica takve pritužbe ili prigovora.

11. Inspektorima se ne smeju poveriti dužnosti koje mogu da, zbog njihovog broja ili naravi, štete efikasnosti inspekcije ili na neki drugi način da štete njihovom ugledu ili nepristranosti u njihovim odnosima sa brodovlasnicima, pomorcima ili drugim zainteresovanim stranama. Konačno, inspektorima mora:

(a) biti zabranjeno da imaju direktni ili indirektni interes u nekoj radnji nad kojom su oni pozvani da sprovedu inspekciju; i

(b) uz primenu odgovarajućih sankcija ili disciplinskih mera, pa i nakon napuštanja službe, da bude zabranjeno otkrivanje svih poslovnih tajni ili poverljivih radnih postupaka ili informacija lične prirode koje su mogli da saznaju u toku njihove službe.

12. Inspektori o svakoj inspekciji moraju da podnesu izvještaj nadležnoj vlasti. Jedna kopija izveštaja na engleskom ili radnom jeziku broda mora da se dostavi zapovedniku broda, a druga da se istakne na brodskoj oglasnoj tabli radi informacije pomorcima i, na zahtev, da se pošalje njihovim predstavnicima.

13. Nadležna vlast svake članice mora da vodi knjigu inspekcija o uslovima pomoraca na brodovima koji plove pod njenom zastavom. Ona mora da objavljuje godišnji izveštaj o radu inspekcije unutar određenog perioda, koji ne sme da bude duži od šest meseci, nakon isteka godine.

14. U slučaju istrage o većoj nezgodi, izveštaj treba da se podnese nadležnoj vlasti, čim je to moguće, ali najkasnije u roku od mesec dana od dana završetka istrage.

15. Kada je inspekcija izvršena ili kada su preduzete mere prema ovom Standardu, treba uložiti sve moguće napore da se spreči neopravdano zadržavanje ili odlaganje odlaska broda..

16. U skladu sa nacionalnim zakonima i pravilima mora da se plati naknada za svaki gubitak ili štetu koji su nastali nezakonitom primenom inspektorskih ovlašćenja. Teret dokaza u svakom pojedinačnom slučaju pada na tužioca.

17. Svaka članica mora da predvidi i efikasno primeni odgovarajuće kazne i druge mere za otklanjanje kršenja zahteva ove Konvencije (uključujući prava pomoraca) i za sprečavanje inspektora u obavljanju njihovih dužnosti.

Smernica B 5. 1. 4. – Inspekcija i primena

3. Nadležna vlast treba da utvrdi jednostavne postupke koji će joj omogućiti primanje poverljivih informacija o mogućim kršenjima zahteva iz ove Konvencije (uključujući prava pomoraca) koje predoče pomorci direktno ili preko predstavnika pomoraca, i da omogući inspektorima neodložnu istragu takvih predmeta, uključujući:

(a) mogućnost da zapovednici, pomorci ili predstavnici pomoraca zahtevaju inspekciju kada je oni smatraju potrebnom; i

(b) pribavljanje tehničkih informacija i saveta brodovlasnika i pomoraca i zainteresovanih organizacija o najefikasnijim načinima ispunjavanja zahteva ove Konvencije i postizanje stalnog unapređenja uslova rada pomoraca na brodovima.

4. Inspektori treba da budu potpuno stručni i mora ih biti u dovoljnom broju kako bi se obezbedilo efikasno izvršenje njihovih dužnosti imajući u vidu:

8. Inspektori koji su dobili odgovarajuće ovlašćenje po nacionalnom zakonu treba da budu ovlašćeni najmanje da:

(a) dolaze na brod slobodno i bez prethodne najave; međutim, početkom inspekcije broda inspektori treba da o svojoj prisutnosti obaveste zapovednika broda ili lice u službi i, kada je moguće, pomorce ili njihove predstavnike;

(b) ispituju zapovednika broda, pomorca ili neko drugo lice, uključujući brodovlasnika ili njegovog predstavnika, o svakom pitanju koje se odnosi na primenu zahteva propisanih zakonima i pravilima, u prisustvu svedoka kojeg lice može da zahteva;

(c) zahtevaju uvid u knjige, brodske dnevnike, registre, svedočanstva ili druge isprave koje se direktno odnose na predmet inspekcije, da bi proverili ispunjenost zahteva propisanih nacionalnim zakonima i pravilima kojima se primenjuje ova Konvencija;

(d) sprovedu isticanje obaveštenja koje zahtevaju nacionalni zakoni i pravila kojima se primenjuje ova Konvencija;

(g) upozore nadležnu vlast i, ako je moguće, priznatu organizaciju, o svakom nedostatku ili zloupotrebi na koju se postojeći zakoni i pravila direktno ne odnose i da im podnesu predloge za poboljšanje zakona ili pravila; i

(h) obaveste nadležnu vlast o svakoj povredi na radu ili bolesti pomoraca u slučajevima i na način koji mogu propisati zakoni i pravila.

9. Kada se uzorak naveden u stavu 8. (e) ove Smernice uzima ili vadi, brodovlasnik ili njegov predstavnik, i kada je to prikladno, pomorac, treba da budu obavešteni ili budu prisutni uzimanju ili vađenju uzorka. Inspektor treba tačno da evidentira količinu takvog uzorka.

10. Godišnji izveštaj koji objavljuje nadležna vlast neke članice o brodovima koji plove pod njenom zastavom, treba da sadrži:

(a) popis zakona i pravila na snazi koji se odnose na radne i životne uslove i svaku izmenu i dopunu koja je stupila na snagu tokom godine;

(b) pojedinosti o organizaciji sistema inspekcije;

(c) statističke podatke o brodovima i drugim prostorima podvrgnutih inspekciji i brodovima i drugim prostorima koji su stvarno pregledani;

(f) statističke podatke o prijavljenim povredama na radu i bolestima koji su pogodili pomorce.

Pravilo 5. 1. 5. – Postupci po prigovoru na brodu

1. Svaka članica mora da zahteva da brodovi koji plove pod njenom zastavom imaju postupke na brodu za pravedno, uspešno i brzo rešavanje svih prigovora pomoraca zbog navodnog kršenja zahteva ove Konvencije (uključujući prava pomoraca).

2. Svaka članica mora da zabrani i kazni bilo koju vrstu šikaniranja pomorca zbog podnošenja prigovora.

3. Odredbe ovog pravila i odgovarajući delovi Kodeksa ne diraju u pravo pomorca da zatraži obeštećenje bilo kojim pravnim sredstvom koje pomorac smatra odgovarajućim.

Standard A 5. 1. 5. – Postupci po prigovoru na brodu

1. Ne dirajući u širi obim koji mogu da daju nacionalni zakoni, pravila ili kolektivni ugovori, pomorci imaju na raspolaganju postupak podnošenjem prigovora na brodu o svakom predmetu koji navodno predstavlja kršenje zahteva ove Konvencije (uključujući prava pomoraca).

2. Svaka članica svojim zakonima ili pravilima mora obezbediti primenu odgovarajućih postupaka po prigovorima kako bi se ispunili zahtevi Pravila 5. 1. 5.

3. Takvi postupci moraju da imaju za cilj da se prigovori reše na najnižem mogućem nivou. Međutim, u svim slučajevima, pomorci moraju da imaju pravo da podnesu prigovore direktno zapovedniku broda, a ako to smatraju potrebnim, i odgovarajućim vlastima van broda.

4. Postupci po prigovoru na brodu moraju uključiti pravo pomorca da ima pratnju ili predstavnika u postupku po prigovoru, kao i na zaštitu protiv mogućeg šikaniranja zbog podnošenja prigovora. Izraz „šikaniranje“ odnosi se na svaku štetnu radnju preduzetu od nekog lica prema pomorcu zbog podnošenja prigovora koji očigledno nije učinjen radi uznemiravanja ili zlobe.

5. Pored kopije svog ugovora o zaposlenju, svi pomorci moraju da dobiju kopiju postupka po prigovoru koji se primenjuju na brodu. Ona mora da sadrži obaveštenje o vezi sa nadležnim vlastima u državi zastave i, ako je ona različita, u zemlji prebivališta pomorca, i ime lica ili više lica na brodu koji mogu da, na poverljivoj osnovi, pruže pomorcima nepristran savet o njihovom prigovoru ili da im pomognu na drugi način u postupcima po prigovoru koji slede, a koji im stoje na raspolaganju na brodu.

Smernica B 5. 1. 5. – Postupci po prigovoru na brodu

1. Pridržavajući se odgovarajućih odredbi primenjivih kolektivnih ugovora, nadležna vlast treba da u tesnoj saradnji sa organizacijama brodovlasnika i pomoraca, izradi predlog primene pravednog, brzog i detaljno evidentiranog brodskog postupka po prigovoru za sve brodove koji plove pod zastavom članice. Prilikom izrade ovih postupaka treba razmotriti sledeća pitanja:

(a) mnogi prigovori mogu da se odnose posebno na one pojedince kojima se prigovor podnosi ili čak na zapovednika broda. U svim slučajevima pomorci treba da budu u mogućnosti da podnesu prigovor direktno zapovedniku ili nekome van broda; i

(b) da bi se pomoglo u sprečavanju problema šikaniranja pomoraca koji su podneli prigovor o materiji iz ove Konvencije, postupci treba da potstaknu imenovanje lica na brodu koje može da savetuju pomorce o postupcima koji im stoje na raspolaganju i da, ako pomorac koji je podneo prigovor to zahteva, prisustvuje svim sastancima ili raspravama o predmetu prigovora.

2. Postupci raspravljeni tokom konsultacija navedenog u stavu 1. ove Smernice treba da uključe barem sljedeće:

(a) prigovori treba da budu upućeni rukovodiocu službe pomorca koji podnosi prigovor ili nadređenom oficiru pomorca;

(b) rukovodilac službe ili nadređeni oficir treba da pokušaju da reše predmet unutar propisanog ograničenog vremena koje odgovara ozbiljnosti predmeta;

(c) ako rukovodilac službe ili nadređeni oficir ne mogu da reše prigovor na zadovoljstvo pomorca, ovaj ga može podneti zapovedniku broda koji o ovom predmetu treba da odlučiti lično;

(d) pomorci treba da neprestano imaju pravo na prisutnost drugog pomorca ili da budu predstavljeni od drugog pomorca po svom izboru na tom brodu;

(e) svi prigovori i odluke o njima treba da se evidentiraju, a kopija preda zainteresovanom pomorcu;

(f) ako se prigovor ne može rešiti na brodu, predmet treba podneti brodovlasniku na kopnu, kojem treba dati odgovarajuće ograničeno vreme za rešavanje predmeta, ako je to odgovarajuće, konsultacijama sa pomorcima vezanih uz slučaj ili nekom osobom koju oni mogu imenovati kao svog predstavnika; i

(g) u svim slučajevima pomorci treba da imaju pravo da podesu svoje prigovore direktno zapovedniku broda, brodovlasniku i nadležnim vlastima.

Pravilo 5. 1. 6. – Pomorske nezgode

1. Svaka članica mora da sprovede službenu istragu o svim ozbiljnim pomorskim nezgodama koje su dovele do povrede ili smrti u koju je uključen brod koji plovi pod njenom zastavom. Završni izveštaj o istrazi po pravilu mora da se objavi.

2. Članice su dužne da međusobno sarađuju kako bi se olakšala istraga ozbiljnih pomorskih nezgoda navedenih u stavu 1. ovog pravila.

Standard A 5. 1. 6. – Pomorske nezgode

(nema odredbi)

Smjernica B 5. 1. 6. – Pomorske nezgode

(nema odredbi)

Pravilo 5. 2. – Obaveze države luke

Cilj: Omogućiti svakoj članici da izvrši svoje obaveze iz ove Konvencije koje se odnose na međunarodnu saradnju u primeni i sprovođenju standarda Konvencije na stranim brodovima

Pravilo 5. 2. 1. – Inspekcije u luci

1. Svaki strani brod koji je u toku svog redovnog poslovanja ili iz drugih razloga, uplovio u luku članice može da bude podvrgnut inspekciji u skladu sa stavom 4. člana V radi provere da li ispunjava zahteve ove Konvencije (uključujući i prava pomoraca) koji se odnose na radne i životne uslove pomoraca na brodu.

2. Svaka članica mora da prihvati svedočanstvo o radu pomoraca i deklaraciju o ispunjavanju uslova rada koje zahteva pravilo 5. 1. 3. kao prima facie dokaz o ispunjavanju zahteva ove Konvencije (uključujući prava pomoraca). Zbog toga inspekcija u njenim lukama mora da bude, osim u okolnostima navedenim u Kodeksu, ograničena na proveru svedočanstva i deklaracije.

3. Inspekcije u luci moraju da obavljaju ovlašćeni službenici u skladu sa odredbama Kodeksa i drugih primenjivih međunarodnih zahteva kojima se uređuje inspekcijski nadzor države luke u članici. Svaka takva inspekcija mora da bude ograničena na proveru da li je predmet podvrgnut inspekciji u skladu sa odgovarajućim zahtevima utvrđenim u članovima i Pravilima ove Konvencije i u Delu A Kodeksa.

4. Inspekcije koje mogu da se sprovode u skladu sa ovim pravilom moraju da se zasnivaju na efikasnom sistemu inspekcije i nadzora države luke koji će doprineti obezbeđenju da radni i životni uslovi na brodovima koji ulaze u luku članice ispunjavaju zahteve ove Konvencije (uključujući i prava pomoraca).

5. Obaveštenje o sistemu navedenom u stavu 4. ovog Pravila, uključujući i način procene njegove efikasnosti, mora da bude uključen u izveštaje članice prema članu 22. Ustava.

Standard A 5. 2. 1. – Inspekcije u luci

1. Kada ovlašćeni službenik, nakon dolaska na brod radi obavljanja inspekcije, zatraži, ako je to odgovarajuće, svedočanstvo o radu pomoraca i deklaraciju o ispunjavanju uslova rada pomoraca, kao i utvrdi da:

(a) zahtevane isprave nisu na raspolaganju ili se ne drže na brodu ili su lažne ili da podnete isprave ne sadrže podatke koje zahteva ova Konvencija ili da su na drugi način neispravne; ili

(b) postoji osnovana sumnja da radni i životni uslovi na brodu nisu u skladu sa zahtevima ove Konvencije; ili

(d) postoji prigovor u kojem se tvrdi da posebni radni i životni uslovi na brodu nisu u skladu sa zahtevima ove Konvencije;

isti može da izvrši detaljniju inspekciju kako bi utvrdio radne i životne uslove na tom brodu. Takva inspekcija mora u svakom slučaju da bude izvršena i u slučaju kada se smatra ili tvrdi da nedostatak može da predstavlja očiglednu opasnost za bezbednost, zdravlje ili sigurnosnu zaštitu pomoraca, ili gde ovlašćeni službenik osnovano sumnja da neki nedostaci predstavljaju ozbiljno kršenje zahteva ove Konvencije (uključujući i prava pomoraca).

2. Kad detaljniju inspekciju na stranom brodu u luci članice sprovode ovlašćeni službenici u okolnostima utvrđenim u tač. (a), (b) ili (c) stava 1. ovog Standarda, ona se u načelu mora odnositi na predmete navedene u Dodatku A5-III.

3. U slučaju prigovora prema stavu 1. (d) ovog Standarda, inspekcija se mora po pravilu ograničiti na predmet prigovora, s tim da prigovor ili istraga u vezi s tim mogu biti povod za detaljniju inspekciju u skladu sa stavom 1. (b) ovog Standarda. U svrhu stava 1. (d) ovog Standarda „prigovor” znači obaveštenje koje su podneli pomorac, stručno telo, neko udruženje, sindikat ili, uopšteno, bilo koje lice zainteresovano za bezbednost broda, uključujući opasnosti za bezbednost ili zdravlje pomoraca na brodu.

4. Kada se nakon detaljnije inspekcije utvrdi da radni i životni uslovi ne odgovaraju zahtevima ove Konvencije, ovlašćeni službenik mora odmah da skrene pažnju zapovedniku broda na nedostatke, uz određeni rok za njihovo otklanjanje. U slučaju da takve nedostatke ovlašćeni službenik smatra značajnim ili ako se oni odnose na prigovor koji je podnet u skladu sa stavom 3. ovog Standarda, ovlašćeni službenik mora o tim nedostacima da skrene pažnju odgovarajućim organizacijama pomoraca i brodovlasnika u članici u kojoj je inspekcija izvršena, i može:

(a) obavestiti predstavnika države zastave;

(b) dostaviti odgovarajuće obaveštenje nadležnim vlastima naredne luke pristajanja.

5. Članica u kojoj je izvršena inspekcija ima pravo da dostavi kopiju izveštaja službenika, uz koju mora da bude priložen odgovor koji je primljen od nadležnih vlasti države zastave unutar propisanog roka, generalnom direktoru Međunarodne kancelarije rada s namerom da se takva mera smatra odgovarajućom i primerenom kako bi se obezbedilo vođenje evidencije o takvom obaveštenju i skrenula pažnja stranaka koje mogu da budu zainteresovane da se koriste odgovarajućim postupcima za naknadu štete.

6. Kada je nakon detaljnije inspekcije ovlašćenog službenika utvrđeno da brod ne odgovara zahtevima ove Konvencije i da:

(a) uslovi na brodu očigledno predstavljaju opasnost za bezbednost, zdravlje ili sigurnosnu zaštitu pomoraca; ili

(b) ova neusklađenost predstavlja ozbiljno ili ponovljeno kršenje zahteva ove Konvencije (uključujući prava pomoraca)

ovlašćeni službenik preduzeće korake da obezbedi da brod ne nastavi plovidbu dok sve neusklađenosti na koje se odnose tač. (a) ili (b) ovog stava nisu ispravljene ili dok ovlašćeni službenik nije prihvatio plan za otklanjanje tih neusklađenosti i uverio se da će plan biti brzo primenjen. Ako je brod sprečen da nastavi plovidbu, ovlašćeni službenik će o tome odmah obavestiti državu zastave i pozvati predstavnika države zastave da bude prisutan, ako je moguće, zahtevajući odgovor države zastave u propisanom roku. Ovlašćeni službenik će isto tako bez odlaganja obavestiti odgovarajuće organizacije brodovlasnika i pomoraca u državi luke u kojoj je inspekcija izvršena.

7. Svaka članica mora da obezbedi da njeni ovlašćeni službenici dobiju uputstvo o okolnostima navedenim u Delu B Kodeksa, kao vrstama okolnosti koje opravdavaju zadržavanje broda prema stavu 6. ovog Standarda.

8. Kada izvršava svoje obaveze prema ovom Standardu, svaka članica mora da uloži sav mogući napor da spreči neopravdano zadržavanje broda ili odlaganje njegovog odlaska. Ako je utvrđeno da je brod neopravdano zadržan ili je njegov odlazak odložen tom brodu mora da se plati naknada za svaki gubitak ili štetu koja mu je pričinjena. Teret dokaza u svakom slučaju pada na tužioca.

Smernica B 5. 2. 1. – Inspekcije u luci

1. Nadležna vlast treba da utvrdi politiku inspekcija za ovlašćene službenike koji izvršavaju inspekcije prema pravilu 5. 2. 1. Cilj politike treba da bude obezbeđenje doslednosti, kao i vođenje inspekcije i izvršnih delatnosti koje se odnose na zahteve iz ove Konvencije (uključujući prava pomoraca). Kopija politike mora da bude data svim ovlašćenim službenicima kao i da bude na raspolaganju javnosti, brodovlasnicima i pomorcima.

2. Prilikom utvrđivanja politike kojom se određuju okolnosti u kojima se može zadržati brod prema stavu 6. Standarda A 5. 2. 1., nadležna vlast treba da uzme u obzir da, imajući u vidu kršenja navedena u stavu 6. (b) Standarda A 5. 2. 1., ozbiljnost može biti posledica prirode predmetnog nedostatka. Ovo naročito može da bude važno u slučaju povrede osnovnih prava i načela ili prava zaposlenja pomoraca i socijalnih prava prema članovima III. i IV. Na primer, zaposlenje lica mlađeg od određenih godina starosti treba smatrati ozbiljnim kršenjem čak i ako postoji samo jedno takvo lice na brodu. U drugim slučajevima, treba uzeti u obzir broj različitih nedostataka utvrđenih tokom pojedine inspekcije, na primer, nekoliko nedostataka u pogledu smeštaja, hrane ili posluživanja hrane koji ne štete bezbednsoti ili zdravlju treba nužno utvrditi pre nego što se počnu smatrati ozbiljnim kršenjem.

3. Članice treba da međusobno sarađuju u najvećoj mogućoj meri prilikom usvajanja međunarodno ugovorenih smernica o politici inspekcije, posebno onih koje se odnose na okolnosti koje opravdavaju zadržavanje broda.

Pravilo 5. 2. 2. – Postupci po prigovoru na kopnu

1. Svaka članica mora da obezbedi da pomorci na brodu koji su došli u luku na teritoriji članice a koji se pozivaju na kršenje zahteva ove Konvencije (uključujući prava pomoraca) imaju pravo da podnesu prigovor kako bi se omogućio brz i praktičan postupak naknade.

Standard A 5. 2. 2. – Postupci po prigovoru na kopnu

1. Prigovor pomorca koji se poziva na kršenje zahtjeva ove Konvencije (uključujući prava pomoraca) može se podnijeti ovlaštenom službeniku u luci u koju je pomorac stigao. U takvim slučajevima ovlašteni službenik mora poduzeti početno istraživanje.

2. Kada je to odgovarajuće, imajući u vidu prirodu prigovora, početno istraživanje mora da razmotri da li su postupci po prigovoru na brodu, predviđeni prema Pravilu 5. 1. 5., bili izvršeni. Ovlašćeni službenik može da izvrši i detaljniju inspekciju u skladu sa Standardom A 5. 2. 1.

3. Ovlašćeni službenik mora da, kada je to prikladno, nastoji pomogne rešavanju prigovora u okviru broda.

4. U slučaju da se istraživanjem ili inspekcijom predviđenom ovim Standardom otkrije neusklađenost koja spada u okvir stava 6. ovog Standarda, primeniće se odredbe tog stava.

5. Kada odredbe stava 4. ovog Standarda nisu primenjene, a prigovor nije rešen na nivou broda, ovlašćeni službenik mora da bez odlaganja obavesti državu zastave tražeći u propisanom roku savet i plan delovanja radi otklanjanja nedostataka.

6. Kada prigovor nije rešen nakon delovanja preduzetog u skladu sa stavom 5. ovog Standarda, država luke dostaviće kopiju izveštaja ovlašćenog službenika generalom direktoru. Uz izveštaj mora da budu priloženi svi odgovori primljeni u okviru propisanog roka od nadležne vlasti države zastave. Isto tako, moraju da budu obaveštene odgovarajuće organizacije brodovlasnika i pomoraca. Pored toga, država luke mora generalom direktoru redovno da podnosi statističke podatke i obaveštenja o rešenim prigovorima. Obe ove obaveze predviđene su da bi se, na osnovu takvih radnji, a koje se mogu smatrati odgovarajućim, omogućilo vođenje evidencije, kao i skrenula pažnja strankama, uključujući i organizacije brodovlasnika i pomoraca, koje mogu da budu zainteresovane da se posluže njima u odgovarajućim postupcima ostvarivanja naknade.

7. Treba da se preduzmu odgovarajući koraci radi zaštite tajnosti prigovora koje su podneli pomorci.

Smernica 5. 2. 2. – Postupci po prigovoru na kopnu

1. Kad ovlašćeni službenik postupa po prigovoru navedenom u Standardu A 5. 2. 2., on treba prvo da ispita da li je prigovor opšte prirode a odnosi se na sve pomorce na brodu ili neku kategoriju njih, ili se odnosi samo na slučaj pojedinog pomorca.

2. Ako je prigovor opšte prirode, treba razmotriti preduzimanje detaljnije inspekcije u skladu sa Standardom A 5. 2. 1.

3. Ako se prigovor odnosi na pojedini slučaj, tada treba razmotriti rezultate postupka za rešavanje tog prigovora na brodu. Ako takav postupak nije izvršen, ovlašćeni službenik treba da predloži podnosiocu prigovora da iskoristi priliku koju mu pruža jedan takav postupak. Treba da postoje dobri razlozi za razmatranje prigovora pre nego što se postupak po prigovoru izvrši na brodu. To mogu biti neprimeren ili preterano odložen unutrašnji postupak ili bojazan podnosioca prigovora od odmazde zbog uloženog prigovora.

4. U svakom istraživanju prigovora, ovlašćeni službenik treba da zapovedniku, brodovlasniku ili nekom drugom licu povezanom sa prigovorom da pruži priliku da iznesu svoje mišljenje.

5. U slučaju da država zastave pokaže, u odgovoru na obaveštenja države luke u skladu sa stavom 5. Standarda A 5. 2. 2., da će ona raspraviti predmet i da ima efikasne postupke za tu svrhu, kao i da je podnela prihvatljiv plan delovanja, ovlašćeni službenik može da se uzdrži od daljeg mešanja povodom prigovora.

Pravilo 5. 3. – Obaveze podrške radu

Cilj: Obezbediti da svaka članica izvrši svoje obaveze prema ovoj Konvenciji koje se odnose na pribavljanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca i socijalnu zaštitu pomoraca

1. Bez uticaja na načelo odgovornosti članice za radne i životne uslove pomoraca na brodovima koji plove pod njenom zastavom, članica je odgovorna i za obezbeđenje izvršenja zahteva iz Konvencije koji se odnose na pribavljanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca i zaštitu socijalne sigurnosti pomoraca koji su njeni državljani, stanovnici ili su nastanjeni ili smešteni na njenoj teritoriji u obimu u kojem je takva odgovornost predviđena ovom Konvencijom.

2. Detaljniji zahtevi za primenu stava 1. ovog pravila nalaze se u Kodeksu.

3. Svaka članica dužna je da utvrdi efikasnu inspekciju i sistem praćenja radi izvršenja svojih obaveza u pogledu pribavljanja radne snage iz ove Konvencije.

4. Obaveštenje o sistemu navedenom u stavu 3. ovog Pravila, uključujući načine procene njegovog dejstva, mora da bude uključena u izveštaje članice prema članu 22. Ustava.

Standard A 5. 3. – Obaveze podrške radu

1. Svaka članica mora da sprovede zahteve ove Konvencije koji se primenjuju na rad i praksu službi za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca smeštenih na njihovoj teritoriji kroz sistem inspekcija, praćenja i zakonskih postupaka u slučaju kršenja koncesijskih i drugih radnih zahteva predviđenih u Standardu A 1. 4.

Smernica B 5. 3. – Obaveze podrške radu

1. Od privatnih službi za angažovanje i zapošljavanje pomoraca smeštenih na teritoriji članice koje angažuju pomorce za brodovlasnike, gde god da se oni nalaze, treba zahtevati da preuzmu obaveze i obezbede da brodovlasnici tačno ispune uslove iz ugovora o zaposlenju zaključene između njih i pomoraca.

Vidi član II. stav 1.(j) Konvencije.

Član 3.

Ovaj zakon stupa na snagu osmog dana od dana objavljivanja u „Službenom glasniku Republike Srbije – Međunarodni ugovori”.

OBRAZLOŽENjE

Ustavni osnov za donošenje Zakona o potvrđivanju Konvencije Međunarodne organizacije rada o radu pomoraca, 2006, sadržan je u članu 99. stav 1. tačka 4. Ustava Republike Srbije prema kojem Narodna skupština potvrđuje međunarodne ugovore kada je zakonom predviđena obaveza njihovog potvrđivanja.

II. RAZLOZI ZBOG KOJIH SE PREDLAŽE POTVRĐIVANjE KONVENCIJE

Međunarodna organizacija rada (u daljem tekstu: MOR) od osnivanja 1919. godine do danas veliku pažnju posvećuje radnim odnosima pomoraca. Tome u prilog govori činjenica da je do danas usvojeno oko 70 konvencija i preporuka kojima se reguliše materija radnih, životnih i socijalnih uslova rada pomoraca. Konvencija o radu pomoraca iz 2006. godine predstavlja svojevrsnu konsolidaciju postojećih pravila i modernizaciju standarda koji su do danas bili predmet regulisanja u 68 različitih Konvencija MOR-a.

Konvencija o radu pomoraca iz 2006. godine nastala je kao rezultat rada 94. sednice Međunarodne konferencije rada koja je održana od 7. do 23. februara 2006. godine u Ženevi i odmah je definisana kao „četvrti stub” pravila u oblasti pomorstva, zajedno sa Međunarodnom konvencijom o zaštiti ljudskih života na moru iz 1974. godine (SOLAS), Međunarodnom konvencijom o sprečavanju zagađenja mora sa pomorskih brodova iz 1973. godine, sa izmenama i dopunama iz 1978. godine (MARPOL 73/78) i Međunarodnom konvencijom o standardima za obuku, izdavanju uverenja i vršenju brodske straže pomoraca iz 1978. godine, sa izmenama i dopunama iz 1995. godine (STCW 78/95).

Konvencija o radu pomoraca tretira pitanja iz jedne od najznačajnijih grana svetske privrede. Naime, danas se pomorskim putem prevozi blizu 90 posto svetske robe, koja se zatim plasira na tržišta širom sveta. Upravo je to razlog u kome se ogledala potreba za ponovnim, ali ovog puta celovitim definisanjem standarda i pravila koja regulišu oblast rada pomoraca, imajući u vidu da danas u pomorskom sektoru kvalitet uslova na radu pomoraca i kvalitet u pružanju pomorskih prevoznih usluga idu ruku pod ruku više nego ikada ranije.

Sama Konvencija donosi nekoliko noviteta u pravnotehničkom pristupu u izradi međunarodnopravnih instrumenata MOR-a. Jedan od najznačajnijih noviteta je struktura Konvencije. Naime, u praksi MOR-a uobičajno je bilo da se obavezujuće norme odvoje od neobavezujućih na osnovu posebnog pravnog instituta tako da su konvencije bile praćene preporukama. Međutim, u izradi ove konvencije koristila se pravna tehnika koja je inače prepoznatljiva u radu Međunarodne pomorske organizacije (IMO), a to je objedinjavanje obavezujućih normi i preporuka u jedan akt. Na taj način Konvenciju čine tri različita, ali međusobno povezana dela: članovi, pravila i kodeks. Članovima i pravilima se izražavaju osnovna prava i načela kao i osnovne obaveze država koje pristupe ovoj Konvenciji, dok kodeks sadrži pojedinačna rešenja bitna za primenu Pravila. Sam kodeks se sastoji od Dela A (obavezni standardi) i Dela B (neobavezne smernice) a njihova povezanost je izvršena davanjem istih naslova i numeričkim načinom označavanja poglavlja. Na taj način je dobijena vertikalna integracija odredaba tako da svako pozivanje na odredbe Konvencije, koje su sadržane u članovima, istovremeno znači i pozivanje na pravila i kodeks.

Imajući u vidu unapređenje standarda koji su normirani predmetnom konvencijom, kao i da su u Republici Srbiji na snazi Pravilnik o zdravstvenom pregledu članova posade brodova trgovačke mornarice, Pravilnik o dozvoljenom broju radnih sati na brodu, Pravilnik o najmanjem broju članova posade pomorskih brodova trgovačke mornarice, Pravilnik o posebnim zdravstvenim uslovima koje moraju da ispunjavaju lica ovlašćena za vršenje poslova na plovnim objektima trgovačke mornarice, a koji se oslanjaju na rešenja nekoliko ranijih konvencija koja se zamenjuju Konvencijom o radu iz 2006. godine, pristupanjem ovoj konvenciji uslediće obimna zakonodavna aktivnost, kako bi se naše zakonodavstvo uskladilo sa standardima predviđenim ovom konvencijom.

Savet Evropske unije je svojom odlukom 2007/431/EC pozvao sve države članice Evropske unije da ratifikuju ili na drugi način pristupe Konvenciji o radu pomoraca, što su do sada učinile Bugarska i Španija, a ostale zemlje članice Evropske unije najavile su skoru ratifikaciju ove konvnecije.

Potvrđivanje ove konvencije do početka 100. zasedanja Međunarodne konferencije rada omogućilo bi da Republika Srbija, uz države članice Evropske unije, bude među prvih 30 država koje su potvrđivanjem konvencije omogućile njeno stupanje na snagu.

III. OSNOVNA PITANjA KOJA SE UREĐUJU KONVENCIJOM

Pravila i kodeks su podeljeni u pet poglavlja:

Minimalni zahtevi za rad pomoraca na brodu;

Uslovi za zaposlenje pomoraca;

Smeštaj, prostorije za odmor, ishranu i posluživanje hrane;

Zdravstvena zaštita, socijalna pomoć i socijalna zaštita pomoraca;

Primena definisanih standarda.

Domen primene ratione personae

Jedan od osnovnih pojmova koji je od značaja za utvrđivanje domena primene ove konvencije je pojam „pomorac” koji je formalno pravno objekt primene Konvencije. Konvencija daje definiciju po kojoj je pomorac svako lice koje je zaposleno, uzeto u službu ili koje radi u bilo kom svojstvu na brodu na koji se primenjuje Konvencija, s tim da država koja pristupi ovoj konvenciji može proširiti domen primene Konvencije i na širi krug lica, što se vidi u članu 2. stav 2. u kome se navodi da ako nije drugačije predviđeno, ova konvencija se primenjuje na sve pomorce. Ukoliko postoji sumnja da li određenu grupu lica treba pojmovno podvesti pod termin „pomorac” u kontekstu ove konvencije, konačnu odluku donosi nadležni organ države koja je vezana odredbama ove konvencije, a čemu predhodi konsultativni postupak u kojem taj organ razmenjuje mišljenje sa organizacijom brodovlasnika i organizacijom pomoraca.

Drugi bitan pojam koji se definiše Konvencijom je pojam „brodovlasnika”. U članu 2. stav 1. Konvencija definiše brodovlasnika ne samo kao vlasnika broda već pod predmetni pojam podvodi i organizaciju ili lice koje je od brodovlasnika preuzelo odgovornost za rad broda i koje se saglasilo s time da preuzima sve dužnosti koje brodovlasnik ima na osnovu Konvencije. Ovakvo proširen pojam brodovlasnika postao je standardna definicija koja se koristi i od strane IMO-a, u konvencijama koje donosi u okviru svoje nadležnosti.

Domen primene ratione materiae

Ovaj domen primene posredno je definisan tako što se u Konvenciji definiše na koje se brodove Konvencija primenjuje. S tim u vezi u članu 2. stav 4. utvrđuje se da se Konvencija primenjuje na sve brodove, bez obzira da li su u privatnom ili javnom vlasništvu, a koji se bave privrednom delatnošću. Osim pozitivne definicije, koristi se i negativna definicija. Prvi izuzetak dat je u okviru definicije broda gde se kaže da se pod brodom neće smatrati brod koji plovi isključivo u unutrašnjim morskim vodama ili u vodama unutar ili veoma blizu zatvorenih voda ili područja unutar kojeg važe lučka pravila. Na državama članicama je da same definišu šta se smatra pod izrazom „veoma blizu zatvorenih voda”. Drugi izuzetak sadržan je u stavu 4. istog člana po kome je od primene ove konvencije izuzeto nekoliko grupa brodova (brodovi za ribolov, brodovi tradicionalne gradnje i ratni brodovi odnosno pomoćni brodovi ratne mornarice).

Bitna novina predviđena Konvencijom je sertifikacija brodova u odnosu na ispunjenost standarda MOR-a, što je do sada isključivo bilo karakteristika vezana za rad IMO-a.

Naime, brodovi čija je bruto registarska tonaža 500 ili veća i koji učestvuju u međunarodnoj plovidbi, odnosno brodovi čija je bruto registarska tonaža 500 ili veća i koji plove pod zastavom države članice i rade iz luke, ili između luka u drugoj državi, dužni su da imaju Sertifikat o radu pomoraca koji izdaje nadležna vlast ili u tu svrhu propisno ovlašćena organizacija, za vremenski period koji nije duži od 5 godina. Da bi brod dobio predmetni Sertifikat potrebno je proveriti da li ispunjava standarde koji se odnose na životne i radne uslove pomoraca (najmanje godine života članova posade, njihove medicinske sertifikate, osposobljenost pomoraca, ugovore o radu pomoraca, korišćenje ovlašćene privatne agencije za posredovanje u zapošljavanju pomoraca, sate rada i odmora, nivo brojnosti posade na brodu, smeštaj, brodske prostorije za odmor, hranu i posluživanje, zdravlje, bezbednost i sprečavanje nezgoda, medicinska pomoć na brodu, brodski postupak po prigovoru kao i isplatu plata). Valjanost sertifikata zavisi od rezultata inspekcijskih provera koje se vrše u međuvremenu a čiji je cilj da se obezbedi stalna usklađenost broda sa zahtevima Konvencije i njenih pravila odnosno kodeksa. Iako Konvencija ne propisuje koliko se pomenutih provera mora izvršiti, može se zaključiti da se mora izvršiti najmanje jedna provera.

Konvencija propisuje i tri slučaja kada se izdaje privremeni sertifikat o radu pomoraca, a to su: novi brodovi, kojima se prilikom isporuke može izdati privremeni sertifikat o radu pomoraca, zatim kada brod menja zastavu i konačno u slučaju promene vlasništva nad brodom.

Pored Sertifikata o radu pomoraca brodu se izdaje i prateća Deklaracija o ispunjavanju uslova rada pomoraca, u koju se unose mere za obezbeđenje stalne usklađenosti sa zahtevima iz Konvencije. Ona se prilaže uz Sertifikat o radu pomoraca i obavezno ima dva dela, pri čemu prvi deo sastavlja nadležna vlast a drugi deo brodovlasnik.

Prema standardu A 5.1.3. stav 10. nadležna vlast, koja sastavlja Deo I Deklaracije o ispunjavanju uslova rada pomoraca, dužna je da utvrdi popis elemenata koji se podvrgavaju inspekciji, zatim da utvrdi zahteve u odnosu na brodove a koji se zasnivaju na odredbama Konvencije i da definiše posebne zahteve za vrstu broda prema nacionalnom zakonodavstvu i konačno da unose sve bitne odredbe usvojene u skladu sa Konvencijom i da naznači svako oslobođenje koje je odobrila nadležna vlast. Mere koje se navode u Delu II Deklaracije o ispunjavanju uslova rada pomoraca moraju posebno naznačiti događaje u kojima će biti provereno stalno ispunjavanje posebnih zahtevima koje odredi nadležna vlast, lica odgovorna za proveru, beleške koje treba voditi i postupke koji će se preduzeti kada se utvrdi neispunjavanje.

Konvencija propisuje nekoliko načina kontrole stalne usklađenosti sa zahtevima koji su njom predviđeni. Prvi i osnovni način jeste odredba kojom se predviđa da na svakom brodu na koji se primenjuje Konvencija postoji tekst Konvencije na radnom jeziku posade ili onom kojeg razume cela ili većina posade. Ukoliko dođe do kršenja njihovih prava, pomorci mogu uložiti prigovor. U cilju efikasnijeg rešavanja sporova Konvencija u Pravilu 5.1.5. postavlja opšta pravila za pokretanje i sprovođenje postupka putem podnošenja prigovora na brodu. Svaka država članica mora obezbediti da postupci po prigovoru na brodu podrazumevaju pravo pomoraca na predstavnika i pravo na zaštitu od mogućeg mobinga zbog podnošenja prigovora.

Značajnu ulogu u sistemu kontrole stalne usklađenosti sa zahtevima Konvencije ima država zastave broda koja je dužna da obezbedi primenu zahtevane inspekcije kao i izdavanje Sertifikata o radu pomoraca i Deklaracije o ispunjavanju uslova rada pomoraca podnosiocu zahteva tj. brodovlasniku. Interes brodovlasnika za pravovremenim pribavljanjem Sertifikata o radu pomoraca i Deklaracije o ispunjavanju uslova rada pomoraca ogleda se u činjenici olakšanog i ubrzanog pregleda broda od strane nadležnog inspekcijskog organa države u čiju luku brod pristaje, a samim tim i skraćeno vreme boravka broda u toj luci.

Konvencija zapravo u određenoj meri ograničava ovlašćenja država članica Konvencije u čiju luku strani brod uplovljava. Naime, Pravilo 5.2.1. propisuje da svaka država članica mora prihvatiti Sertifikat o radu pomoraca i Deklaraciju o ispunjavanju uslova rada pomoraca kao prima facie dokaz o ispunjenosti zahteva Konvencije, odnosno da se inspekcija mora ograničiti na proveru ta dva dokumenta. Ovde treba imati u vidu da je ovo ograničenje uslovno, imajući u vidu Standard 5.2.1. koji definiše uslove pod kojima država luke u koju je brod pristao sme obaviti detaljan pregled broda. Efikasnost pregleda zavisi od odstvarenog stupnja saradnje između države zastave broda i države luke u koju je brod pristao.

Konačno, Konvencija uvodi načelo tzv. „nepovlašćenog postupanja” koje znači da država koja je ratifikovala Konvenciju treba da pregleda brodove koji ulaze u njene luke, a viju zastavu države koja nije ratifikovala Konvenciju, na način koji je propisan Konvencijom, čime je otklonjena mogućnost da brodovi države koja nije pristupila Konvenciji uživaju povoljniji položaj od brodova koji plove pod zastavom države koja je postala strana ugovornica Konvencije.
