Selected texts from ILO Convention 180 and the STCW Convention
ILO Convention 180
Art. 5 paragraph 1 The limits on hours of work or rest shall be as follows: (a) maximum hours of work shall not exceed: (i) 14 hours in any 24-hour period; and (ii) 72 hours in any 7-day period; or (b)
minimum hours of rest shall not be less than: (i) 10 hours in any 24-hour period; and (ii) 77 hours in any 7-day period.
Art. 5 paragraph 2 Hours of rest may be divided into no more than two periods, one of which shall be atleast 6 hours in length, and the interval between consecutive periods of rest shall not exceed
14 hours.
Art. 5 paragraph 6 Nothing in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall prevent the Member from having national laws of regulations or a procedure for the competent authority to authorize or register collective
agreements permitting exceptions to the limits set out. Such exceptions shall as far as possible, follow the standards set out but may take account of more frequent or longer leave
periods or the granting of compensatory watchkeeping seafarers or seafarers working on board ships on short voyages.
Art 7 paragraph 1 Nothing in this Convention shall be deemed to impair the right of the master of a ship to require a seafarer to perform any hours of work necessary for the immediate safety of the
ship, persons on board or cargo, or for the purpose of giving assistance to other ships or persons in distress at sea.
Art.7 paragraph 3 As soon as practicable after the normal situation has been restored, the master shall ensure that any seafarers who have performed work in a scheduled rest period are provided
with an adequate period of rest.
STCW Convention
Section A-VIII/1 of the STCW Code (mandatory)
1. All persons who are assigned duty as officer in charge of a watch or as a rating forming part of a watch shall be provided a minimum of 10 hours rest in any 27-hour period.
2. The hours of rest may be divided into no more than two periods, one of which shall be at least 6 hours in length.
3. The requirements for rest periods laid down in paragraph 1 and 2 need not be maintained in the case of an emergency or drill or in other overriding operational conditions.
4. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2, the minimum period of 10 hours may be reduced to not less than 6 consecutive hours provided that any such reduction shall not exceed beyond 2
days and not less than 70 hours of rest are provided each 7-day period.
5. Administration shall require that watch schedules be posted where they are easily accessible.
Section B-VIII/1 of the STCW Code (guidance)
3. In applying regulation VIII//1, the following should be taken account:
.1 provisions made to prevent fatigue should ensure that excessive or unreasonable overall working hours are not undertaken. In particular, the minimum rest periods specified in section A-VIII/1
should not be interpreted as implying that all other hours may be devoted to watchkeeping or other duties.
.2 that the frequency and length of leave periods, and the granting of compensatory leave, are material factors in preventing fatigue from building up over a period of time; and
.3 The provisions may be varied for ships on short-sea voyages provided special safety arrangements are put in place.
