Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2010, published 100th ILC session (2011)

Food and Catering (Ships' Crews) Convention, 1946 (No. 68) - Türkiye (Ratification: 2005)

Articles 2–12 of the Convention. Food and catering. The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. The Committee recalls its previous comment in which it raised numerous issues and requested clarifications on practically every provision of the Convention. The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide a detailed report on the application of the Convention indicating for each of the Articles of the Convention the provisions of the laws and regulations or other measures which give effect to each Article. The Committee also requests the Government to transmit copies of any relevant legal text(s) which may not have been previously communicated to the Office.

Moreover, the Committee recalls that Convention No. 68, together with 67 other international maritime labour instruments, has been revised by the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC, 2006). The Committee accordingly invites the Government to consider ratifying the MLC, 2006, in the very near future and to keep the Office informed of any decision taken or envisaged in this respect.
