The Committee notes with satisfaction the adoption of the Shipping Act, 2004, which has repealed the Merchant Shipping Act of 1982, which contained provisions punishing various breaches of discipline by seafarers with imprisonment (involving an obligation to perform labour), even in circumstances where the ship or the life or health of persons were not endangered.
