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

Accommodation of Crews Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 92) - Egypt (Ratification: 1982)

The Committee has noted the Government's reply to its previous comments, and the contents of Law No. 97 of 1960 concerning safety on board ship.

Part II of the Convention

Article 4. The Committee notes that Law No. 97 appears to contain no provision for the submission for the competent authority's approval of the plans of a ship or the crew accommodation before construction or alteration, as required by this Article. Please indicate any measures taken or contemplated to this effect.

Article 5. The Committee has noted with interest the provisions in sections 2, 4, 7, 8 and 10 of Law No. 97 relating to the inspections required under clauses (a) and (b) of this Article. Please indicate any measures taken or contemplated in relation to inspections after a complaint has been made, as provided for in clause (c).

Part III

The Committee has noted the Government's indication that regular inspections of crew accommodation are to take place in conformity with Article 17. Please include in the next report any available information on the working of inspection in compliance with Articles 4, 5 and 17 (Points III and V of the report form).

The Committee hopes that with its next report the Government will provide copies of the orders giving effect to Articles 6 to 15 of the Convention. [The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1990.]
