Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1989, published 76th ILC session (1989)

Fishermen's Competency Certificates Convention, 1966 (No. 125) - Trinidad and Tobago (Ratification: 1972)

Further to its previous observation, the Committee notes with interest that, following discussions with IMO officials in 1986, a new Shipping Act (No. 24 of 1987) has been proclaimed. The Committee also notes that certain fishing and safety training has commenced in the Caribbean Fisheries Institute, following IMO assistance. However, it again observes that no legislation has yet been enacted to give effect to Parts II, III and IV of the Convention. In this light, the Committee hopes that the necessary regulations will soon be made by the Minister under section 87 of the new Act, and that the next report will include details.

[The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1990.]
