CMNT_TITLE

Aruba
The Committee notes the information provided by the Government, which answers the points raised in its previous direct request and has no further matters to raise in this regard.

CMNT_TITLE

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.
Repetition
Implementation of the Conventions. In order to provide a comprehensive view of the issues relating to the application of ratified maritime Conventions, the Committee considers it appropriate to examine them in a single comment. In its previous comments, the Committee noted the Government’s statement that there were neither seafarers nor ships registered in the territory, and that the Government intended to terminate the acceptance of the obligations of a number of ratified maritime Conventions after consultation with employers’ and workers’ organizations. The Committee notes that the Government indicates in its reports that there are no developments concerning the possible termination of the acceptance of the obligations of these Conventions.
The Committee wishes to draw the Government’s attention to the data collected by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in its 2014 Review on Maritime Transport, which indicated that Aruba’s container ship fleet consists of seven ships. The Committee accordingly requests the Government to clarify the current situation concerning the number of seafarers and ships registered in Aruba.

CMNT_TITLE

Article 3 of the Convention. Annual leave with pay. The Committee has been noting the Government’s statements in previous reports to the effect that no measures have been taken to give effect to the provisions of this Convention through legislation, administrative regulations or other measures because there are no seafarers within the meaning of the Convention in Aruba. The Committee has also been noting the Government’s indications in earlier reports concerning the application of other maritime Conventions that it planned to consult with employers’ and workers’ organizations on the possibility of formally terminating the acceptance of the obligations of these Conventions on behalf of Aruba. In its last report, the Government merely indicates that there have been no modifications in law or in practice regarding the Convention. The Committee therefore requests the Government to re-examine its obligations arising out of this Convention in the light of current conditions in the shipping sector and to consider possible action, as appropriate, in relation to those instruments which may be found to be without object or to have ceased to apply in Aruba.

The Committee notes the Government’s report. Recalling previous statements of the Government that there were no seamen within the meaning of this Convention in Aruba, the Committee hopes that the Government will provide in its future reports information on any modification in law or in practice.

The Committee notes at the same time from Lloyds’ Statistical Tables for 1992 that 154 ships are given as registered in Aruba and Netherlands Antilles together. It recalls that the Convention applies (under Article 2) to all persons employed on board seagoing ships registered in the territory and would be grateful if the Government would clarify the numbers of seafarers in these terms and the provisions by which the Convention is applied to them.

The Committee notes from the Government's first report that essentially it is legislation of the Netherlands that applies the Convention to Aruba. It notes however some variance between the provisions cited by the Government and those that apply the Convention to the Netherlands. The Committee would appreciate clarification on this point and requests a more detailed report, pointing out what specific provisions of the legislation cited in the Government's first report apply the Convention to Aruba. Please provide information on the practical application of the Convention requested in point V of the report form.
