The Committee notes from the Government's report that no progress has been made in implementing the Convention and that there is still no sickness insurance scheme for seafarers, as provided for in the Convention and Act No. 212/AN/82 issuing the Shipping Code. The Committee notes, however, the Government's statement that it will do its utmost to adopt legislation to implement the above Act. It hopes that the Government's next report will contain information on any progress made in establishing a sickness insurance scheme for seafarers.
