Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2015, published 105th ILC session (2016)

Seafarers' Identity Documents Convention, 1958 (No. 108) - Slovenia (Ratification: 2003)

Article 2(1) of the Convention. Scope of application. The Committee previously requested the Government to ensure that the issuance, on personal application, of seafarers’ identity documents is provided to all Slovenian seafarers, irrespective of whether they are working on board vessels flying the Slovenian flag. It notes the Government’s reference in its report to the Decree on Seafarers’ Certificates, adopted on 27 November 2014, which defines the requirements of qualified seafarers on board ships. The Committee considers, however, that the abovementioned legislation deals with the qualification standards set out in the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, as amended (STCW) and, consequently, does not specifically address the seafarers’ identity documents. The Committee reiterates its request to the Government to provide information on measures adopted aimed at bringing its national legislation into full conformity with this Article of the Convention.
