available at any reasonable time in order to enable seafarers to reach
urban areas from convenient locations in the port.

any special laws and customs, the contravention of which may
jeopardize their freedom.

with promptly under due process of law and with appropriate consular
protection.
3. Whenever a seafarer is detained for any reason in the
territory of a Member, the competent authority should, if the seafarer
so requests, immediately inform the flag State and the State of
nationality of the seafarer. The competent authority should promptly
inform the seafarer of the right to make such a request. The State of
nationality of the seafarer should promptly notify the seafarer`s next
of kin. The competent authority should allow consular officers of
these States immediate access to the seafarer and regular visits
thereafter so long as the seafarer is detained.
4. Each Member should take measures, whenever necessary, to
ensure the safety of seafarers from aggression and other unlawful acts
while ships are in their territorial waters and especially in
approaches to ports.
