乗組員が新型コロナ陽性と診断された場合の中国港湾での船主の留意点

中国に寄港した船舶で、新たに乗船した乗組員の新型コロナ感染者数が急増しています。地元当局は、船舶の入港に際し乗務員に対する新型コロナ検査を強化しています。

Due to a spike in the number of Covid-19 cases in China linked to vessels arriving at Chinese ports following crew changes, the local Customs Authority has introduced enhanced procedures for testing crew members for Covid-19 when vessels call at Chinese ports.  The Club’s local Correspondents, Oasis P&I, have issued the attached Circular to explain the new procedures and the ensuing consequences for Members and their vessels if any crew member is  tested positive for Covid-19. We strongly recommend that Members review the Correspondents’ Circular and be guided by the same. The Correspondents specifically recommend that careful arrangements are made to test crew members for Covid-19 when the crew members sign-on to avoid the subsequent problems highlighted in the Circular, when the vessel arrives at Chinese ports.
