PREAMBLE
The General Conference of the International Labour Organization,
Having been convened at Geneva by the Governing Body of the International Labour Office, and having met in its Ninety-fourth Session on 7 February 2006, and
Desiring to create a single, coherent instrument embodying as far as possible all up-to-date standards of existing international maritime labour Conventions and Recommendations, as well as the fundamental principles to be found in other international labour Conventions, in particular:
– the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29);
– the Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention. 1948 (No. 87);
– the Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98);
– the Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100);
– the Abolition of Forced Labour Convention, 1957 (No. 105);
– the Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention, 1958 (No. 111);
– the Minimum Age Convention, 1973 (No. 138);
– the Worst Forms of Child Labour Convention, 1999 (No. 182); and
Mindful of the core mandate of the Organization, which is to promote decent conditions of work, and
Recalling the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, 1998, and
Mindful also that seafarers are covered by the provisions of other ILO instruments and have other rights which are established as fundamental rights and freedoms applicable to all persons, and
Considering that, given the global nature of the shipping industry, seafarers need special protection, and
Mindful also of the international standards on ship safety, human security and quality ship management in the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, as amended, the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972, as amended, and the seafarer training and competency requirements in the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978, as amended, andTexto lido por imagem · p. 135 18 DE SETEMBRO DE 2018

Recalling that Article 94 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, 1982, establishes the duties and obligations of a flag State with regard to, inter alia, labour conditions, crewing and social matters on ships that fly its flag, and
Recalling paragraph 8 of article 19 of the Constitution of the International Labour Organisation which provides that in no case shall the adoption of any Convention or Recommendation by the Conference or the ratification of any Convention by any Member be deemed to affect any law, award, custom or agreement which ensures more favourable conditions to the workers concerned than those provided for in the Convention or Recommendation, and
Determined that this new instrument should be designed to secure the widest possible acceptability among governments, shipowners and seafarers committed to the principles of decent work, that it should be readily updateable and that it should lend itself to effective implementation and enforcement, and
Having decided upon the adoption of certain proposals for the realization of such an instrument, which is the only item on the agenda of the session, and
Having determined that these proposals shall take the form of an inter- national Convention;
adopts this twenty-third day of February of the year two thousand and six the following Convention, which may be cited as the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006.

Texto do artigo · p. 145 EXPLANATORY NOTE TO THE REGULATIONS AND CODE
OF THE MARITIME LABOUR CONVENTION
Texto do artigo · p. 145 1. This explanatory note, which does not form part of the Maritime Labour
Convention, is intended as a general guide to the Convention.
Texto do artigo · p. 145 2. The Convention comprises three different but related parts: the Articles, the
Regulations and the Code.
Texto do artigo · p. 145 3. The Articles and Regulations set out the core rights and principles and the
basic obligations of Members ratifying the Convention. The Articles and Regulations
can only be changed by the Conference in the framework of article 19 of the Constitu-
tion of the International Labour Organisation (see Article XIV of the Convention).
Texto do artigo · p. 145 4. The Code contains the details for the implementation of the Regulations. It
comprises Part A (mandatory Standards) and Part B (non-mandatory Guidelines).
The Code can be amended through the simplified procedure set out in Article XV of
the Convention. Since the Code relates to detailed implementation, amendments to it
must remain within the general scope of the Articles and Regulations.
Texto do artigo · p. 145 5. The Regulations and the Code are organized into general areas under five
Titles:
Title 1: Minimum requirements for seafarers to work on a ship
Title 2: Conditions of employment
Title 3: Accommodation, recreational facilities, food and catering
Title 4: Health protection, medical care, welfare and social security protection
Title 5: Compliance and enforcement
Texto do artigo · p. 145 6. Each Title contains groups of provisions relating to a particular right or prin-
ciple (or enforcement measure in Title 5), with connected numbering. The first group
in Title 1, for example, consists of Regulation 1.1, Standard A1.1 and Guideline B1.1,
relating to minimum age.
Texto do artigo · p. 145 7. The Convention has three underlying purposes:
(a) to lay down, in its Articles and Regulations, a firm set of rights and principles;
(b) to allow, through the Code, a considerable degree of flexibility in the way Mem-
bers implement those rights and principles; and
(c) to ensure, through Title 5, that the rights and principles are properly complied with
and enforced.
Texto do artigo · p. 145 8. There are two main areas for flexibility in implementation: one is the pos-
sibility for a Member, where necessary (see Article VI, paragraph 3), to give effect to the
detailed requirements of Part A of the Code through substantial equivalence (as defined
in Article VI, paragraph 4).Texto lido por imagem · p. 146 2226
I SÉRIE — NÚMERO 183
Texto do artigo · p. 146 Explanatory note to the Regulations and Code
Texto do artigo · p. 146 9. The second area of flexibility in implementation is provided by formulating the mandatory requirements of many provisions in Part A in a more general way, thus leaving a wider scope for discretion as to the precise action to be provided for at the national level. In such cases, guidance on implementation is given in the non- mandatory Part B of the Code. In this way, Members which have ratified this Convention can ascertain the kind of action that might be expected of them under the corresponding general obligation in Part A, as well as action that would not necess- sarily be required. For example, Standard A4.1 requires all ships to provide prompt access to the necessary medicines for medical care on board ship (paragraph 1(b)) and to "carry a medicine chest" (paragraph 4(a)). The fulfilment in good faith of this latter obligation clearly means something more than simply having a medicine chest on board each ship. A more precise indication of what is involved is provided in the corresponding Guideline B4.1.1 (paragraph 4) so as to ensure that the contents of the chest are properly stored, used and maintained.
Texto do artigo · p. 146 10. Members which have ratified this Convention are not bound by the guidance concerned and, as indicated in the provisions in Title 5 on port State control, inspections would deal only with the relevant requirements of this Convention (Articles, Regulations and the Standards in Part A). However, Members are required under paragraph 2 of Article VI to give due consideration to implementing their responsibilities under Part A of the Code in the manner provided for in Part B. If, having duly considered the relevant Guidelines, a Member decides to provide for different arrangements which ensure the proper storage, use and maintenance of the contents of the medicine chest, to take the example given above, as required by the Standard in Part A, then that is acceptable. On the other hand, by following the guidance provided in Part B, the Member concerned, as well as the ILO bodies responsible for reviewing implementation of international labour Conventions, can be sure without further consideration that the arrangements the Member has provided for are adequate to implement the responsibilities under Part A to which the Guideline relates.Texto lido por imagem · p. 147 18 DE SETEMBRO DE 2018

Texto do artigo, página 145: EXPLANATORY NOTE TO THE REGULATIONS AND CODE
OF THE MARITIME LABOUR CONVENTION
Texto do artigo, página 145: 1. This explanatory note, which does not form part of the Maritime Labour
Convention, is intended as a general guide to the Convention.
Texto do artigo, página 145: 2. The Convention comprises three different but related parts: the Articles, the
Regulations and the Code.
Texto do artigo, página 145: 3. The Articles and Regulations set out the core rights and principles and the
basic obligations of Members ratifying the Convention. The Articles and Regulations
can only be changed by the Conference in the framework of article 19 of the Constitu-
tion of the International Labour Organisation (see Article XIV of the Convention).
Texto do artigo, página 145: 4. The Code contains the details for the implementation of the Regulations. It
comprises Part A (mandatory Standards) and Part B (non-mandatory Guidelines).
The Code can be amended through the simplified procedure set out in Article XV of
the Convention. Since the Code relates to detailed implementation, amendments to it
must remain within the general scope of the Articles and Regulations.
Texto do artigo, página 145: 5. The Regulations and the Code are organized into general areas under five
Titles:
Title 1: Minimum requirements for seafarers to work on a ship
Title 2: Conditions of employment
Title 3: Accommodation, recreational facilities, food and catering
Title 4: Health protection, medical care, welfare and social security protection
Title 5: Compliance and enforcement
Texto do artigo, página 145: 6. Each Title contains groups of provisions relating to a particular right or prin-
ciple (or enforcement measure in Title 5), with connected numbering. The first group
in Title 1, for example, consists of Regulation 1.1, Standard A1.1 and Guideline B1.1,
relating to minimum age.
Texto do artigo, página 145: 7. The Convention has three underlying purposes:
(a) to lay down, in its Articles and Regulations, a firm set of rights and principles;
(b) to allow, through the Code, a considerable degree of flexibility in the way Mem-
bers implement those rights and principles; and
(c) to ensure, through Title 5, that the rights and principles are properly complied with
and enforced.
Texto do artigo, página 145: 8. There are two main areas for flexibility in implementation: one is the pos-
sibility for a Member, where necessary (see Article VI, paragraph 3), to give effect to the
detailed requirements of Part A of the Code through substantial equivalence (as defined
in Article VI, paragraph 4).
Texto lido por imagem, página 146: 2226
I SÉRIE — NÚMERO 183
Texto do artigo, página 146: Explanatory note to the Regulations and Code
Texto do artigo, página 146: 9. The second area of flexibility in implementation is provided by formulating the mandatory requirements of many provisions in Part A in a more general way, thus leaving a wider scope for discretion as to the precise action to be provided for at the national level. In such cases, guidance on implementation is given in the non- mandatory Part B of the Code. In this way, Members which have ratified this Convention can ascertain the kind of action that might be expected of them under the corresponding general obligation in Part A, as well as action that would not necess- sarily be required. For example, Standard A4.1 requires all ships to provide prompt access to the necessary medicines for medical care on board ship (paragraph 1(b)) and to "carry a medicine chest" (paragraph 4(a)). The fulfilment in good faith of this latter obligation clearly means something more than simply having a medicine chest on board each ship. A more precise indication of what is involved is provided in the corresponding Guideline B4.1.1 (paragraph 4) so as to ensure that the contents of the chest are properly stored, used and maintained.
Texto do artigo, página 146: 10. Members which have ratified this Convention are not bound by the guidance concerned and, as indicated in the provisions in Title 5 on port State control, inspections would deal only with the relevant requirements of this Convention (Articles, Regulations and the Standards in Part A). However, Members are required under paragraph 2 of Article VI to give due consideration to implementing their responsibilities under Part A of the Code in the manner provided for in Part B. If, having duly considered the relevant Guidelines, a Member decides to provide for different arrangements which ensure the proper storage, use and maintenance of the contents of the medicine chest, to take the example given above, as required by the Standard in Part A, then that is acceptable. On the other hand, by following the guidance provided in Part B, the Member concerned, as well as the ILO bodies responsible for reviewing implementation of international labour Conventions, can be sure without further consideration that the arrangements the Member has provided for are adequate to implement the responsibilities under Part A to which the Guideline relates.
