Legislation. The Committee notes that the Decree No. 45968 of 15 October 1964 on the Regulations on Maritime Registration, Licensing and Manning is currently the only relevant legislation.

Article 1 of the Convention. The Committee notes from the Government’s report that the Ministry of Public Administration, Employment and Social Security, through the General Labour Inspectorate, is entrusted with the application of the legislation and administrative regulations. The Committee also notes that, according to the Government, there is no new information on the application of Article 1 of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on the measures taken to ensure that any package or object of 1,000 kilograms (one metric ton), or more gross weight consigned within its territory for transport by sea or inland waterway, has its gross weight plainly and durably marked upon it on the outside before it is loaded on a ship or vessel.
