SELECTED TEXTS FROM ILO CONVENTION No 180 AND THE STCW CONVENTIONS
ILO Convention No 180
Article 5
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 seven-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 seven-day period.
2. Hours of rest may be divided into no more than two periods, one of which shall be at least six hours in length, and the
interval between consecutive periods of rest shall not exceed 14 hours.
6. Nothing in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall prevent the Member from having national laws or regulations or a procedure for the
competent authority to authorise 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 leave for watchkeeping seafarers or seafarers working on board ships on short voyages.
Article 7
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.
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
1. All persons who are assigned duty as officer in charge of a watch or seafarer on watch shall be provided with a minimum of
10 hours’ rest in any 24-hour period.
2. The hours of rest may be divided into no more than two periods, one of which shall be at least six hours in length.
3. The requirements for rest periods laid down in paragraphs I 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 extend beyond two days and not less than 70 hours of rest are
provided each seven-day period.
5. Administrations shall require that watch schedules be posted where they are easily accessible.

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;
3. the provision may be varied for ships on short sea voyages, provided special safety arrangements are put in place.
