IMPOSITION OF FINES FOR NON-COMPLIANCE ILO 108/185 SUSPENDED
In December 2010, Brazilian port authorities in the ports of Suape and Recipe
started to impose immigration fines and restrictions on seafarers from
countries which are not signatories to ILO Conventions 108 or 185 and
restricted them from disembarking for shore leaves.
As this greatly affected Filipino Seafarers on board Philippine and foreign
flag ships, the local Maritime Industry lobbied with the Maritime Industry
Authority, the Department of Labor and Employment and the Department of Foreign
Affairs, in order to help resolve the problem and move towards the early
ratification of C185 by the Philippine Senate. The DFA in turn made
representations with their Brazilian counterparts.
Thereafter, Brazilian authorities have agreed to suspend the implementation of
immigration fines against ship owners whose seafarers are from countries which
are not signatories to ILO C108 (Seafarers Identification Document Convention
1958) or C185 (Seafarers Identification
Document Convention 2003).
