UDDRAG FRA MLC OG STCW-KONVENTIONEN
MLC
Norm A2. 3, stk. 5, 6, 13 og 14.
5. Begrænsningerne i arbejdstiden eller hviletiden fastsættes som følger: a) den maksimale
arbejdstid må ikke overstige: i) 14 timer i enhver 24-timers-periode, og ii) 72 timer i enhver
syvdøgnsperiode, eller b) minimumsvarigheden af hvileperiode må ikke være mindre end: i)
10 timer i enhver 24-timers-periode, og ii) 77 timer i enhver syvdøgnsperiode.
6. Hviletimer må ikke opdeles i mere end to perioder, hvoraf den ene skal være af mindst 6
timers varighed, og tiden mellem to på hinanden følgende hvileperioder må ikke overstige 14
timer.

13. Intet i denne norms stk. 5 og 6 er til hinder for, at en medlemsstat har nationale love eller
forskrifter eller en procedure for, at den kompetente myndighed kan tillade eller registrerer
kollektive overenskomster, der tillader fravigelser fra de fastsatte begrænsninger. Sådanne
afvigelser skal så vidt muligt følge bestemmelserne i denne norm, men kan tage højde formere hyppige eller længere frihedsperiode eller indrømmelser af kompenserende frihed for
vagtgående søfarende eller søfarende, der arbejder om bord på skibe på kort rejse.
14. Intet i denne norm begrænser skibsførerens ret til at kræve, at en søfarende gør tjeneste idet antal timer, der er nødvendige for skibets, de om bordværendes eller lastens umiddelbare
sikkerhed, eller med det formål at yde assistance til andre skibe eller personer i nød til søs.
Skibsføreren kan derfor suspendere planen for arbejdstid eller hviletid og kræve, at en
søfarende udfører arbejde i det antal timer, der er nødvendige, indtil normale forhold ergenoprettet. Skibsføreren skal, så hurtigt som muligt efter at normale forhold er blevet
genoprettet sikre, at søfarende, der har udført arbejde i en planlagt hvileperiode, gives en
passende hvileperiode.
STCW-konventionen
Afsnit A-VIII/1, paragraf 2, 3, 8 og 9.
2. Enhver person, der pålægges at arbejde som vagthavende navigatør eller som menig på
vagtholdet, eller en person, hvis arbejde omfatter opgaver i forbindelse med sikkerhed,forebyggelse af forurening og sikringsopgaver, skal have en hvileperiode på mindst: 1) ti
timer i enhver 24-timersperiode og 2) 77 timer i enhver syvdages periode.
3. Hviletiden kan opdeles i højst to perioder, hvoraf en skal være på mindst seks timer, og
tidsrummet mellem på hinanden følgende hvileperioder må ikke overskride 14 timer.
8. Uanset bestemmelserne i dette afsnit har skibsføreren på et skib ret til at kræve, at en
søfarende arbejder det antal timer, som er nødvendigt for skibets, ombordværendes eller
lastens umiddelbare sikkerhed eller for at bistå andre skibe eller personer i havsnød. I
overensstemmelse hermed kan skibsføreren se bort fra hviletid og kræve, at en søfarende
arbejder det antal timer, som er nødvendigt, indtil den normale situation er genoprettet. Så
snart som muligt efter, at den normale situation er genoprettet, sørger skibsføreren for, atsøfarende, som har udført arbejde i en planlagt hvileperiode, får en tilstrækkeligehvileperiode.
9. Parterne kan tillade undtagelser fra de i ovenstående stk. 2.2 og 3 krævede hviletider,forudsat at hvileperioden ikke er mindre end 70 timer i enhver syvdagsperiode. Undtagelser
fra de i stk. 2.2 angivne ugentlige hvileperioder tillades ikke i mere end to på hinanden
følgende uger. Intervallet mellem de to undtagelsesperioder om bord skal ikke være mindre
end to gange undtagelsesperiodens længde. Den i stk. 2.1 angivne hviletid kan inddeles i ikke
flere end tre perioder, hvoraf mindst en skal have en længde på 6 timer, og ingen af de toøvrige perioder skal have en længde kortere end 1 time. Intervallet mellem på hinanden
følgende hvileperioder må ikke være over 14 timer. Undtagelser må ikke overstige to 24timersperioder i enhver syvdagesperiode. Undtagelserne skal så vidt muligt tage hensyn til
den i afsnit B-VIII/1 anførte vejledning om forebyggelse af træthed (fatigue).

Annex 4
Sea areas comprised
The defined area referred to in section 6(4) of the Order.

Annex 5Compensatory measures
Agreements on derogation from the rules on hours of rest under section 6(5) are subject toapproval by the Danish Maritime Authority. When approving an agreement, the Danish
Maritime Authority makes a concrete assessment of the agreement as a whole to ensure thatthe seafarer gets sufficient rest. The agreement must state the nature of the derogation andhow it is compensated for. The watch schedule must be prepared so that the seafarer is not
exposed to unnecessary strain.

Where the general provisions on hours of rest are derogated from, compensatory measures
must be agreed. In determining compensatory measures, the following elements should beconsidered:
1. That, in any 24-hour period, the seafarer has at least 10 hours of rest, which may be divided
into two periods, however.
2. That the seafarer has one period of rest of at least six consecutive hours on transition fromone 24-hour period to the next. For example, if the seafarer’s shift ends late in the evening,around midnight or in the middle of the night, the seafarer may not start a new shift until six
hours have passed, even if a new 24-hour period has started.
3. That the six hours are actual hours of rest, which means that time must be added for any
other activities.
4. That the general rule may only be derogated from twice in a row in any seven-day period.
Between the two periods in which the hours of rest are derogated from, the seafarer must havethree days either off duty or resting according to the general rule of 10 hours of rest in any 24hour period.
5. That the seafarer has at least 77 hours of rest in any seven-day period.
6. That facilities allowing the seafarer to spend the night are available on board the ship or in
the immediate vicinity, e.g. a resting room with a bed and toilet and bathing facilities. If
deemed expedient, the seafarer may spend the night in his or her own home.
7. That the seafarer has suitable breaks and varied duties during the day; for example, if there
is more than one navigator on board, the navigators should take turns navigating the ship.
8. That the agreement takes into account the route (crossing) and type of passenger shipconcerned as well as peak periods.
9. Any other special compensatory measures adapted to local conditions.
