Unemployment Indemnity (Shipwreck) Convention, 1920 (No. 8) - Jersey

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition

Article 2 of the Convention. Unemployment indemnity in case of shipwreck. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the relevance of the Convention continues to be assessed and that the Registry has very few vessels with permanent contracted seafarers to whom the Convention would be of value. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on any developments that might have an impact on the application of the Convention.

Application in practice. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the application of the Convention in practice, including, for instance, the number of seafarers covered by the relevant legislation and the number of any maritime casualties involving Jersey-registered vessels and the payment of indemnities to the seafarers concerned.
