The World Health Organisation declared COVID-19 a global pandemic in March 2020 and it remains an ongoing risk worldwide. Most nations took extreme measures to limit the spread of this deadly coronavirus disease - and many continue to do so.
Members should always check and comply with the latest local health advice to protect their crews, prevent the disease from spreading and minimise the risk of delay.
Loss prevention measures may include vaccinations, vessel disinfections, limitations on shore leave and resupply, restrictions on wastewater treatment, and even cancellation of port calls.
The Club and its local correspondents are continuing to monitor the situation and will keep this page updated with the latest news and advice. Please contact us immediately if you need help.
