Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1990, publiée 77ème session CIT (1990)

Convention (n° 68) sur l'alimentation et le service de table (équipage des navires), 1946 - Pérou (Ratification: 1962)

Further to its observation and its previous direct request, the Committee has noted with interest the indications as to co-ordination and co-operation between the various authorities and shipowners' and seafarers' organisations in relation to the Convention (Article 3), with a view to, amongst other things, new regulations relating to the Convention. It hopes such regulations will take account of the following matters and that the Government will supply full details.

Article 4 of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government's statement that inspectors are duly qualified. Please give particulars of their qualifications, as requested in the report form approved by the Governing Body.

Article 5(2)(a). The Committee notes that Supreme Decree No. 012-77-SA contains no requirement as to the nutritive value and variety of food and water supplies. Please indicate any measures proposed in this respect. Please also supply a copy of any legislation relating to the registers referred to in the report as specifying the quantities of provisions on board each ship or a model register.

Articles 6, 9 and 10 (and Parts III and V of the report form). The Committee notes from the report that there are annual inspections of the catering department, including the registers which indicate the quantities of food which should be on board. It hopes that the Government will supply copies of the annual inspection reports, which it indicates are being processed, together with information on the powers of inspectors to make recommendations to shipowners and on the practical working of inspection, as requested in the report form.
