《海员培训、发证和值班标准国际公约》2010年修正案

The revised STCW Convention and Code 2010

2010年6月21日至25日,国际海事组织在菲律宾首都马尼拉召开外交大会,对《1978年海员培训、发证和值班标准的国际公约》作全面修改,其主要目的是要提高海员的素质,包括对船舶的驾驶能力和对海上恶劣环境及海盗等各种风险的应变能力。它表明国际上对海员的重视和期望提高到一个新的水平。

Major revisions to the International Convention on Standards of Training,Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers,1978 (the STCW Convention),and its associated Code, were adopted at a Diplomatic Conference held in Manila, Philippines, from 21 to 25 June 2010, under the auspices of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the United Nations specialized agency with responsibility for maritime safety and security and the prevention of pollution from ships. The draft amendments to the STCW Convention and Code mark the first major revision of the two instruments since those adopted in 1995, which completely revised the original 1978 Convention and introduced the Code. It is anticipated that the necessary global standards will be in place to train and certify seafarers to operate any modern, technologically advanced ships well into the future.
