The General Conference of the International Labour Organisation,
Having been convened at Geneva by the Governing Body of the International Labour Office and having met in its Sixty-second Session on 13 October 1976, and
Recalling the provisions of the Seafarers’ Engagement (Foreign Vessels) Recommendation, 1958, and of the Social Condition and Safety (Seafarers) Recommendation, 1958, and

Having determined that these proposals shall take the form of an international Convention,
adopts this twenty-ninth day of October of the year one thousand nine hundred and seventy-six the following Convention, which may be cited as the Merchant Shipping (Minimum Standards) Convention, 1976:

1. Except as otherwise provided in this Article, this Convention applies to every sea-going ship, whether publicly or privately owned, which is engaged in the transport of cargo or passengers for the purpose of trade or is employed for any other commercial purpose.
2. National laws or regulations shall determine when ships are to be regarded as sea-going ships for the purpose of this Convention.
3. This Convention applies to sea-going tugs.
4. This Convention does not apply to–
(a) ships primarily propelled by sail, whether or not they are fitted with auxiliary engines;
(b) ships engaged in fishing or in whaling or in similar pursuits;
(c) small vessels and vessels such as oil rigs and drilling platforms when not engaged in navigation, the decision as to which vessels are covered by this subparagraph to be taken by the competent authority in each country in consultation with the most representative organisations of shipowners and seafarers.
5. Nothing in this Convention shall be deemed to extend the scope of the Conventions referred to in the Appendix to this Convention or of the provisions contained therein.

Each Member which ratifies this Convention undertakes–
(a) to have laws or regulations laying down, for ships registered in its territory–
(i) safety standards, including standards of competency, hours of work and manning, so as to ensure the safety of life on board ship;
(ii) appropriate social security measures; and
(iii) shipboard conditions of employment and shipboard living arrangements, in so far as these, in the opinion of the Member, are not covered by collective agreements or laid down by competent courts in a manner equally binding on the shipowners and seafarers concerned;
and to satisfy itself that the provisions of such laws and regulations are substantially equivalent to the Conventions or Articles of Conventions referred to in the Appendix to this Convention, in so far as the Member is not otherwise bound to give effect to the Conventions in question;
(b) to exercise effective jurisdiction or control over ships which are registered in its territory in respect of–
(i) safety standards, including standards of competency, hours of work and manning, prescribed by national laws or regulations;
(ii) social security measures prescribed by national laws or regulations;
(iii) shipboard conditions of employment and shipboard living arrangements prescribed by national laws or regulations, or laid down by competent courts in a manner equally binding on the shipowners and seafarers concerned;
(c) to satisfy itself that measures for the effective control of other shipboard conditions of employment and living arrangements, where it has no effective jurisdiction, are agreed between shipowners or their organisations and seafarers’ organisations constituted in accordance with the substantive provisions of the Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948, and the Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949;
(d) to ensure that–
(i) adequate procedures – subject to over-all supervision by the competent authority, after tripartite consultation amongst that authority and the representative organisations of shipowners and seafarers where appropriate – exist for the engagement of seafarers on ships registered in its territory and for the investigation of complaints arising in that connection;
(ii) adequate procedures – subject to over-all supervision by the competent authority, after tripartite consultation amongst that authority and the representative organisations of shipowners and seafarers where appropriate – exist for the investigation of any complaint made in connection with and, if possible, at the time of the engagement in its territory of seafarers of its own nationality on ships registered in a foreign country, and that such complaint as well as any complaint made in connection with and, if possible, at the time of the engagement in its territory of foreign seafarers on ships registered in a foreign country, is promptly reported by its competent authority to the competent authority of the country in which the ship is registered, with a copy to the Director-General of the International Labour Office;
(e) to ensure that seafarers employed on ships registered in its territory are properly qualified or trained for the duties for which they are engaged, due regard being had to the Vocational Training (Seafarers) Recommendation, 1970;
(f) to verify by inspection or other appropriate means that ships registered in its territory comply with applicable international labour Conventions in force which it has ratified, with the laws and regulations required by subparagraph (a) of this Article and, as may be appropriate under national law, with applicable collective agreements;

Measures taken by the ratifying State to this effect shall not be in contradiction with the principle of free movement of workers stipulated by the treaties to which the two States concerned may be parties.

1. If a Member which has ratified this Convention and in whose port a ship calls in the normal course of its business or for operational reasons receives a complaint or obtains evidence that the ship does not conform to the standards of this Convention, after it has come into force, it may prepare a report addressed to the government of the country in which the ship is registered, with a copy to the Director-General of the International Labour Office, and may take measures necessary to rectify and conditions on board which are clearly hazardous to safety or health.
2. In taking such measures, the Member shall forthwith notify the nearest maritime, consular or diplomatic representative of the flag State and shall, if possible, have such representative present. It shall not unreasonably detain or delay the ship.
3. For the purpose of this Article, “complaint” means information submitted by a member of the crew, a professional body, an association, a trade union or, generally, any person with an interest in the safety of the ship, including an interest in safety or health hazards to its crew.

1. This Convention is open to the ratification of Members which–
(a) are parties to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1960, or the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, or any Convention subsequently revising these Conventions; and
(b) are parties to the International Convention on Load Lines, 1966, or any Convention subsequently revising that Convention; and

Generalna konferenca Mednarodne organizacije dela,
ki jo je v Ženevi sklical Administrativni svet Mednarodnega urada za delo in se je 13. oktobra 1976 sestala na svojem dvainšestdesetem zasedanju, in
je upoštevala določbe Priporočila o zaposlovanju pomorščakov na tujih ladjah, 1958, in Priporočila o socialnih pogojih in varnosti pomorščakov, 1958, in
sklenila, da sprejme nekatere predloge glede ladij, ki ne ustrezajo predpisanim standardom, predvsem tistih, ki so registrirane pod zastavo ugodnosti, kar je peta točka dnevnega reda zasedanja, ter
določila, da so ti predlogi v obliki mednarodne konvencije,
sprejema devetindvajsetega oktobra tisoč devetsto šestinsedemdesetega leta to konvencijo, ki se imenuje Konvencija o minimalnih normativih v trgovski mornarici, 1976:

1. Razen če ni v tem členu drugače določeno, ta konvencija velja za vse čezoceanske ladje v javni ali zasebni lasti, ki prevažajo tovor ali potnike za trgovske namene, ali se uporabljajo za kakršen koli drug komercialni namen.
2. Z notranjimi zakoni ali predpisi se določi, katere ladje se za namen te konvencije štejejo kot čezoceanske ladje.
3. Ta konvencija velja za čezoceanske vlačilce.
4. Ta konvencija ne velja za:
(a) ladje z glavnim pogonom na jadra, če so ali niso opremljene s pomožnimi motorji;
(b) ladje, ki se uporabljajo za ribolov ali kitolov ali za podobne namene;

5. Nobena določba te konvencije ne širi obsega konvencij, navedenih v dodatku k tej konvenciji, ali določb, ki jih te vsebujejo.

Vsaka članica, ki ratificira to konvencijo, se zaveže, da:
(a) določi z zakoni ali predpisi za ladje, registrirane na njenem ozemlju:
(i) varnostne normative, vključno z normativi o usposobljenosti, delovnem času in številčnosti posadke, da bi s tem zagotovila varnost bivanja na ladjah;
(ii) ustrezne ukrepe socialne varnosti in
(iii) pogoje zaposlovanja in bivanja na ladji, če ti niso po mnenju članice zajeti v kolektivnih pogodbah ali jih niso določila pristojna sodišča na način, ki je v enaki meri zavezujoč za ladjarje in pomorščake;
in se prepriča, da se določbe takih zakonov in predpisov v glavnem ujemajo z določbami konvencij ali členov konvencij, navedenih v dodatku k tej konvenciji, če članica ni sicer dolžna izvajati omenjenih konvencij;
(b) izvaja sodno pristojnost ali nadzor nad ladjami, ki so registrirane na njenem ozemlju, glede:

(ii) ukrepov socialne varnosti, predpisanih z notranjimi zakoni ali predpisi;
(iii) pogojev zaposlovanja in bivanja na ladji, predpisanih z notranjimi zakoni ali predpisi, ali ki jih določijo pristojna sodišča tako, da so v enaki meri zavezujoči za ladjarje in pomorščake;
(c) se prepriča, če so ukrepi za učinkovit nadzor drugih pogojev zaposlovanja in bivanja na ladji, nad katerimi nima sodne pristojnosti, dogovorjeni med ladjarji ali njihovimi organizacijami in organizacijami pomorščakov, ki so ustanovljene v skladu z določbami Konvencije o sindikalni svobodi in varstvu sindikalnih pravic, 1948, ter Konvencije o uporabi načel o pravicah organiziranja in kolektivnega dogovarjanja, 1949;
(d) zagotovi:
(i) ustrezne postopke, ki so predmet vsestranskega nadzora pristojnega organa po tristranskem posvetu med tem organom ter reprezentativnimi organizacijami ladjarjev in pomorščakov, če je to potrebno, za zaposlovanje pomorščakov na ladjah, registriranih na njenem ozemlju, in za proučitev s tem povezanih pritožb;
(ii) ustrezne postopke, ki so predmet vsestranskega nadzora pristojnega organa po tristranskem posvetu med tem organom ter reprezentativnimi organizacijami ladjarjev in pomorščakov, če je to potrebno, za proučitev kakršne koli pritožbe v zvezi z na njenem ozemlju izvedenim postopkom zaposlovanja pomorščakov, ki imajo njeno državljanstvo, na ladjah, registriranih v tuji državi; o omenjenih pritožbah kot tudi o pritožbah v zvezi z na njenem ozemlju izvedenim postopkom zaposlovanja tujih pomorščakov na ladjah, registriranih v tuji državi, pristojni organ nemudoma obvesti pristojni organ države, v kateri je ladja registrirana, ter generalnemu direktorju Mednarodnega urada za delo izroči v vednost kopijo obvestila;
(e) zagotovi, da so pomorščaki, zaposleni na ladjah, ki so registrirane na njenem ozemlju, primerno usposobljeni ali izurjeni za dela, za katera so najeti, ob upoštevanju Priporočila o poklicnem usposabljanju pomorščakov, 1970;
(f) preveri s pregledom ali na kak drug ustrezen način, če ladje, registrirane na njenem ozemlju, ravnajo v skladu z veljavnimi mednarodnimi konvencijami dela, ki jih je ratificirala, z zakoni in predpisi, zahtevanimi v pododstavku (a) tega člena, in če se to ujema z notranjo zakonodajo, z veljavnimi kolektivnimi pogodbami;
(g) uvede uradno preiskavo pri hujših pomorskih nezgodah, če gre za ladje, registrirane na njenem ozemlju, predvsem pri poškodbah in/ali smrtnih primerih; končno poročilo o takih preiskavah se navadno javno objavi.

Vsaka članica, ki ratificira to konvencijo, mora, če je mogoče, obvestiti svoje državljane o možnih težavah, ki lahko nastanejo pri sklenitvi delovnega razmerja na ladji, registrirani v državi, ki konvencije ni ratificirala, vse dokler se ne prepriča, ali se v tej državi uporabljajo normativi, enakovredni tistim, ki jih določa ta konvencija. Ukrepi, ki jih v ta namen sprejme država, ki je konvencijo ratificirala, ne smejo biti v nasprotju z načelom prostega gibanja delovne sile, določenim z morebitnimi pogodbami, ki veljajo za obe državi.

1. Če članica, ki je ratificirala to konvencijo, in v pristanišču katere pristane ladja med običajnim potovanjem ali iz operativnih razlogov, prejme pritožbo ali dobi dokaze, da ladja ne ustreza normativom iz te konvencije, ko je konvencija že začela veljati, lahko pripravi poročilo vladi države, v kateri je ladja registrirana, kopijo poročila pa pošlje generalnemu direktorju Mednarodnega urada za delo, lahko pa tudi uvede potrebne ukrepe za odpravo razmer na ladji, ki očitno ogrožajo varnost ali zdravje.
2. Pri izvajanju teh ukrepov mora članica takoj obvestiti najbližje pomorsko, konzularno ali diplomatsko predstavništvo države pripadnosti, in če je mogoče, poskrbi za prisotnost predstavnika te države. Članica ne sme brez tehtnega razloga zadržati ladje ali povzročiti njene zamude.
3. Za namen tega člena pomeni “pritožba” informacijo, ki jo da član posadke, strokovni organ, združenje, sindikat ali na splošno kdor koli, ki se zavzema za varnost ladje, vključno z zavzemanjem za varnost ali zdravje posadke.

3. Nato začne ta konvencija veljati za vsako članico dvanajst mesecev od dneva, ko je bila ratifikacija registrirana.

1. Vsaka članica, ki je ratificirala to konvencijo, jo lahko z aktom, ki ga pošlje v registracijo generalnemu direktorju Mednarodnega urada za delo, odpove po preteku desetih let od dneva, ko je prvič začela veljati. Odpoved začne veljati šele eno leto od dneva registracije.

Administrativni svet Mednarodnega urada za delo predloži, kadar koli meni, da je to potrebno, Generalni konferenci poročilo o uporabi te konvencije in prouči, ali je primerno na dnevni red konference uvrstiti vprašanje njene celotne ali delne spremembe.

1. Če konferenca sprejme novo konvencijo, ki to konvencijo v celoti ali delno spreminja, in če z novo konvencijo ni drugače določeno,
(a) nova spremenjena konvencija, ki jo ratificirajo posamezne članice, povzroči ipso iure takojšnjo odpoved te konvencije ne glede na določbe 7. člena zgoraj, če in ko nova spremenjena konvencija začne veljati;
(b) od dneva, ko začne veljati nova spremenjena konvencija, ta konvencija članicam ni več na voljo za ratifikacijo.
2. Ta konvencija vsekakor še naprej velja v svoji sedanji obliki in vsebini za tiste članice, ki so jo ratificirale, niso pa ratificirale spremenjene konvencije.
