海员遣返公约（1987年修正本）
 
 
公约
 
国际劳工组织大会，经国际劳工局理事会的召集，于１９８７年９月２４日在日内瓦举行第七十四届会议，并注意到自１９２６年海员遣返公约和１９２６年遣返（船长和学徒）建议书通过以来，航运业的发展使得有必要对公约进行修正，以便和建议书的适当部分进行合并，并进一步注意到１９２６年海员遣返公约未包括的各项事务，由于各国向海员提供遣返的立法和实际做法而取得了很大进步，并考虑到航运业日益广泛雇用非本国海员，从而使采取进一步行动在海员遣返问题的某些新方面制定一项新的国际文件是可取的，并议决通过本届会议议程第五项所列“修订１９２６年海员遣返公约（第２３号）和１９２６年遣返（船长和学徒）建议书（第２７号）”若干提议，并决定这些提议应采取国际公约的方式，于１９８７年１０月９日通过下列公约，此公约可称为１９８７年海员遣返公约（修正本）。

      CONVENTION No.166 Convention concerning the Repatriation of Seamen(Revised 1987)
   
     Whole document
 
    The General Conference of the International Labour Organization,
    Having been convened in Geneva by the Governing Body of the
International Labour Office and having met at its Seventy-fourth Session
on 24 September 1987, and
    Noting that since the adoption of the Repatriation of Seamen
Convention, 1926, and of the Repatriation (Ship Masters and Apprentices)
Recommendation, 1926, developments in the shipping industry have made it
necessary to revise the Convention to incorporate appropriate elements of
the Recommendation, and
    Noting further that considerable progress has been made through
national legislation and practice in providing for the repatriation of
seafarers in various matters not covered by the Repatriation of Seamen
Convention, 1926, and
    Considering that further action by means of a new international
instrument as regards certain additional aspects of the repatriation of
seafarers would accordingly be desirable taking into account the
widespread growth in employment of non-national seafarers in the shipping
industry, and
    Having decided upon the adoption of certain proposals with regard to
the Revision of the Repatriation of Seamen Convention, 1926 (No. 23), and
of the Repatriation (Ship Masters and Apprentices) Recommendation, 1926
(No. 27), which is the fifth item on the agenda of the session, and
   Having determined that these proposals shall take the form an
international Convention, adopts this ninth day of October of the year
one thousand nine hundred and eighty-seven the following Convention which
may be cited as the Repatriation of Seafarers Convention (Revised), 1987.
