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).
