Shore leave and the Covid-19 pandemic: Protecting yourself and your ship
4 December 2020
INTERTANKO’s Human Element in Shipping Committee has developed a guidance note entitled ‘Shore leave and the Covid-19 pandemic’.
The guidance outlines the key considerations and procedures to follow for seafarers wishing to take shore leave during the pandemic.
Operators are advised to take this guidance into account when setting their policies and seafarers should be aware of any consequences relating to taking shore leave for the health and safety of their onboard colleagues, the operations of the vessel and the potential impact on crew changes.
