Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2001, published 90th ILC session (2002)

Accommodation of Crews Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 92) - Guinea - Bissau (Ratification: 1977)

The Committee notes the Government’s indication that effect to the provisions of the Convention is given by the general labour law, but in practice there are major difficulties in its full application. The Committee further notes that the revision of the general labour law is currently under way which would include an addition of a special chapter dealing with work on board vessels. It would be grateful if the Government would continue to supply information on any developments in this respect. The Committee also requests the Government to indicate whether in Guinea-Bissau there are ships to which the Convention is applicable.
