Statute overview

About this statute

This article says the regulation checks whether foreign merchant ships comply with the specified work-time clauses for seafarers and sets measures for non-compliance. This article defines key terms used in the Real Decreto, including ships, the competent authority, inspectors, and a complaint. It also says the complainant’s identity must not be disclosed to the ship’s master or owner. A Spanish maritime-administration body must prepare and send a report to the ship’s flag-state administration, and it may take police measures, when it receives a well-founded complaint or evidence that a ship calling at a Spanish port is breaching clauses 1 to 12 of the attached Agreement. The inspector must check whether the ship has the required work-organization chart and working/rest-hours record, and may carry out a more detailed inspection in certain cases. Maritime authorities must take measures when an inspection finds a ship in dangerous non-compliance, and may immobilize the ship until defects are fixed or the crew rests. They must immobilize the ship if the watch crew is proven excessively fatigued, until rest is obtained or the crew is reinforced.
