Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Fishermen's Competency Certificates Convention, 1966 (No. 125) - Trinidad and Tobago (Ratification: 1972)

Further to its previous observations, the Committee notes from the Government's latest report that the drafting of regulations under section 87 of the Shipping Act (No. 24 of 1987) has been actively engaging the attention of the Minister of Works, Infrastructure and Decentralisation. It notes with interest that, in the continuing absence of legislation to give effect to the Convention, the Government is positively exploring, with the relevant agencies, the Committee's suggestion of the possibility of requesting appropriate assistance from the ILO in drafting regulations. It hopes progress will be made soon and that the Government will provide details.
