Working of the Convention is continuously reviewed by The Special Tripartite Committee. It will comprise two government representatives for each ratifying country and representatives for the social partners . This Committee is important  in amending the Code. If faults are identified, or if the convention needs updating, the Committee under Article XV can adopt amendments. Article VII also assists countries without social partners to consult in implementing the Convention.  The first meeting of this committee took place in April 2014 and discussed amendments related to crew claims and abandonment. These have now been prepared as texts for approval of the International Labour Conference 2014.
