As the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communcations is responsible for regulating working conditions, your question was forwarded to us. There are several acts implementing the Convention, manly the Seafarers’ Employment Act (available in English here: https://www.riigiteataja.ee/en/eli/504072023004/consolide) and Maritime Safety Act (available in English here: https://www.riigiteataja.ee/en/eli/504072023003/consolide). Article 10 has been transposed into Estonian law with the section 26 of the Maritime Safety Act and no exception is made on the basis of point 2 of article 10. I hope this information is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions regarding this issue.

Dear Holly Thank You for contacting. Agnes refered to the convention in her replay and in this convention the article 10 sets out the conditions for medical. Medical examination Article 10 1. Fishermen shall not work on board a fishing vessel without a valid medical certificate attesting that they are fit to perform their duties. 2. competent authority may, after consultation, grant exemptions from the application of paragraph 1 of this Article, taking into account the safety and health protection of fishermen, the size of the vessel, the availability of medical assistance and evacuation facilities, the duration of the trip, the area of operation and the type of fishing activity. 3. The exemptions provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article shall not apply to a fisherman working on a fishing vessel of 24 metres in length or more or on a vessel which normally remains at sea for more than three days. In cases of urgency, the competent authority may authorise a fisherman to work on such a vessel for a limited and specified period pending the obtaining of a medical certificate, provided that the fisherman holds a recently expired medical certificate.

Your colleague shared your email with me in case you could help with my query about the Work In Fishing Convention in Estonia. Please could you tell me if any fishers are exempt from having a medical in Estonia, or do they all have to have a medical regardless of the size of the vessel that they work on? Thank you very much.

Dear Holly, I write you in conjunction to your email. The convention is ratifyed in Estonia and published in Riigi Teataja: https://www.riigiteataja.ee/akt/208032016002. The first link in this page (Under law’s heading) is the ratification law that simply states that we ratify the convention. According to our Constitution (https://www.riigiteataja.ee/en/eli/530122020003/consolide §s 3 and 123) the Convention is then directly appllicable. I am unfortunately not more familiar with the more precise regulation of the field. Maybe you can contact to the person from Ministry of Regional Affairs and Agriculture below I hope she may be more help in these questions.

As part of our report to the International Labour Organization on our ratification of the Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 (No. 188), we are looking to understand how other countries who have ratified the Convention are implementing its requirements.

You can find the collection of documentation for the UK’s implementation of the Work In Fishing Convention here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/ilo-work-in-fishing-convention. We would be really interested to see the implementing legislation that you have developed, if you could please provide some links?
