Convenio sobre los documentos de identidad de la gente de mar, 1958 (núm. 108) - Portugal (Ratificación : 1967)

The Committee refers to its previous direct request and notes with interest from the Government's report that, under the provisions in force of Legislative Decree No. 104/89, section 25 of Decree No. 45969 which provided that the seaman's book was to be kept by the ship's master has been abolished, in accordance with Article 3 of the Convention.

The Committe hopes that the Government will now be able to have a statement included in the seaman's book to the effect that it constitutes a seafarer's identity document for the purposes of the Convention, as required by Article 4, paragraph 2, and that it will provide a specimen copy of the amended seaman's book.
