Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2008, published 98th ILC session (2009)

Marking of Weight (Packages Transported by Vessels) Convention, 1929 (No. 27) - Honduras (Ratification: 1980)

The Committee notes that, following its 2007 general observation, the Private Enterprise Council of Honduras (COHEP) indicates in its comments communicated to the Government in September 2008 that it is fully in favour of a revision of the Convention to take into account developments in the methods of transporting loads. The COHEP adds that it is participating in the current revision of the Regulations of the Central American Uniform Customs Code. The Committee requests the Government to provide any relevant information in its next regular report due in 2012 in reply to the 2007 direct request and the comments of the COHEP, with an indication of any difficulties encountered in the application of the Convention in relation to modern methods of handling loads, and particularly containers.
