Accommodation of Crews (Supplementary Provisions) Convention, 1970 (No. 133) - Guinea (RATIFICATION: 1977)

The Committee takes note of the adoption of the new Labour Code (Act No. L/2014/072/CNT of 10 January 2014). It requests the Government to provide all implementing texts of the Code in view of a complete review of the new legislation.

The Committee further notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Part II of the Convention. Crew accommodation requirements. For several years now, the Government has been indicating that, since Guinea has no shipyards, it has the option either of purchasing vessels that are designed in accordance with the provisions of the Convention or of ensuring that alterations of vessels are in conformity with the Convention. The Maritime Navigation Agency (ANAN) is responsible for the implementation of the provisions of the Convention, and the Marine Inspectors Division ensures the application of the Maritime Code. The Committee had requested the Government to send the texts relating to the establishment and activities of the Maritime Navigation Agency and the Marine Inspectorate, and to keep the Office informed of any future developments concerning the number of seagoing vessels covered by the Convention. Since the Government’s report does not reply to these requests, the Committee once again asks the Government to provide all relevant information on these matters.
