Articles 6(16), 9, 10(12), (24) and (25), 12(8), and 16(4). Crew accommodation requirements. Referring to the provisions of Regulatory Norm No. 30 on safety and health of maritime labour (NR-30), the Committee had requested the Government to indicate how it gives effect to Articles 6(16),9(1), (2), (3) and (5), 10(24) and 12(8)(b) and (d) of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s reply in its report, that although the majority of Brazilian ships are excluded from the scope of application of the Convention pursuant to Article 1(3), it will take into account the Committee’s comments and discuss with employers and workers’ representatives about the feasibility of including them in in the next revision of Annex I of the NR-30. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the measures taken to ensure full compliance with these provisions of the Convention.
