Article 1 of the Convention. Marking of weights. In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to indicate the legal provisions giving effect to the Convention. The Committee notes that the Government reiterates in its report that the Convention is implemented through section 106(2) of the Code of Commercial Shipping of 2001, which provides that the consigner shall duly mark the loads and submit to the carrier all the necessary information concerning loads. In this regard, the Committee requests the Government to confirm that the obligation to mark loads, under section 106(2) of the Code of Commercial Shipping, includes the marking of weight, especially when the package or object has a gross weight of more than one thousand kilograms (one metric tonne), as provided for in Article 1(1) of the Convention.
