Convention (n° 108) sur les pièces d'identité des gens de mer, 1958 - Guinée-Bissau (Ratification: 1977)

The Committee takes note of the observations of the National Union of Workers of Guinea-Bissau – Union Center (UNTG-CS) received on 19 April 2025. The Committee requests the Government to provide its comments in this respect.

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.

The Seafarers’ Identity Documents Convention, 1958 (No. 108). Article 4(2) of the Convention. Seafarer’s identity document. Particulars to be included. The Committee requested the Government to modify the current cédula de inscricão marítima (seafarer’s identity document) in order to include a statement that the document is a seafarer’s identity document for the purpose of this Convention. It notes the Government’s indication that measures will be taken to ensure that the cédula de inscricão marítima complies with the requirements of the Convention. The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide a specimen of the modified cédula de inscricão marítima once adopted.
