　those resulting from shipowners' liability) shall be appropriately
 
　co-ordinated or integrated with any scheme which applies to industrial
 
　workers and their dependants and provides corresponding benefits not less
 
　favourable in respect of conditions of award, extent or amount, and
 
　duration. 
 
　
 
　Article 3
 
　　　1. A seafarer resident in the territory in which the vessel is
 
　registered who is left behind in another territory by reason of injury in

　entitled to
 
　　　　(a) proper and sufficient medical care until he is cured or

　seafarer is able to obtain suitable employment or is repatriated, he or
 
　his dependants shall be entitled to any benefit under a scheme of
 
　compulsory social insurance or workmen's compensation which would be
 
　payable if the seafarer were present in the territory of registration. Any
 
　benefit payable to the seafarer or his dependants under such a scheme
 
　prior to the expiry of the prescribed period may be deducted from the
 
　allowance.
 
　Article 4
 
　　　Arrangements for the maintenance of rights in course of acquisition by
 
　a person who, having ceased to be subject to a scheme of compulsory
 
　social insurance for seafarers, becomes subject to such a scheme for
 
　shoreworkers, or, having ceased to be subject to such a scheme for
 
　shoreworkers, becomes subject to such a scheme for seafarers, shall be
 
　made between the schemes concerned.
 
　Article 5
 
　　　National laws and regulations relating to the liability of the
 
　shipowner in respect of sickness, injury or death of seafarers,
 
　compulsory insurance against employment injury or workmen's compensation,
 
　compulsory sickness insurance and compulsory unemployment insurance shall
 
　ensure equality of treatment to seafarers and their dependants
 
　irrespective of nationality or race.
 
　Article 6
 
　　　1. National laws and regulations relating to the liability of the
 
　shipowner in respect of sickness, injury or death of seafarers shall
 
　ensure equality of treatment to seafarers and their dependants whether or
 
　not they reside in the territory in which the vessel is registered.
 
　　　2. Where the laws or regulations of a Member relating to the liability
 
　of shipowners do not entitle seafarers resident outside its territory to
 
　the benefits prescribed in paragraph 1 of Article 3, the Member shall
 
　provide these benefits by other laws or regulations. 
 
　
 
　Article 7
 
　　　1. The laws and regulations of a Member relating to medical and cash
 
　benefits in case of employment injury shall not impose on seafarers or
 
　their dependants resident in the territory of any other Member for which
 
　this Convention is in effective operation any condition or limitation
 
　which does not apply equally to seafarers and their dependants resident in
 
　the territory of the first Member.
 
　　　2. Provided that no such benefits and no contributions towards the
 
　cost of such benefits shall be payable under the scheme in force in the
 
　territory of the first Member if they are payable in respect of such
 
　seafarers under any scheme in force in the territory of the second Member.
 
　Article 8
 
　　　In order to facilitate continuity of insurance and to eliminate double
 
　contributions and double benefits, Members may enter into agreements
 
　providing that nationals or residents of one Member employed on board or
 
　in the service of a vessel registered in the territory of another Member
 
　shall be subject to an insurance or compensation scheme of the first
 
　Member and therefore excluded from the corresponding scheme of the second
 
　Member.
 
　Article 9
 
　　　Nothing in this Convention shall affect any law, award, custom or
 
　agreement between shipowners and seafarers which ensures to the seafarers
 
　conditions more favourable than those provided for by this Convention. 
 
　
 
　Article 10
 
　　　1. Effect may be given to paragraph 2 of Article 3 of this Convention
 
　by (a) laws or regulations; (b) collective agreements between recognised
 
　associations of shipowners or shipowners and recognised associations of
 
　seafarers which cover all seafarers to whom the said paragraph applies; or
 
　(c) a combination of laws or regulations and collective agreements between
 
　recognised associations of shipowners or shipowners and recognised
 
　associations of seafarers which cover all seafarers to whom the said
 
　paragraph applies. Except as may be otherwise provided herein, the
 
　provisions of this Convention shall be made applicable to every vessel
 
　registered in the territory of the ratifying Member and to every person
 
　engaged on any such vessel.
 
　　　2. Each Member ratifying this Convention shall supply to the
 
　Director-General of the International Labour Office information on the
 
　measures by which the Convention is applied, including particulars of any
 
　collective agreements which give effect to any of its provisions and are
 
　in force at the date when the Member ratifies the Convention.
 
　　　3. Each Member ratifying the Convention undertakes to take part, by
 
　means of a tripartite delegation, in any committee representative of
 
　Governments and shipowners' and seafarers' organizations, and including in
