The new norm takes part to replace almost 70 conventions and orders existing in matter.
"This Convention - it has emphasized the general manager of the ILO, Guy Ryder - is a milestone in the marine history. Which produced of the tripartite dialogue and the international cooperation, the promotion of decent conditions of job and life for marine and a loyal competition for the shipowners affords meanwhile in that it is globalizzata of the industries".
The new Convention up to now is ratified altogether by 48 nations (Italy lacks still to the appeal) and yesterday it is becomes international law for 30 nations, while for the other Countries it will take effect 12 months after the recording of the respective ratifiche. "I ask all the Countries with marine interests - Ryder has declared - to ratify it - if they have not still made it - and prompt the governments and the shipowners to work in effective way in order to put into effect this Convention".
