15-day quarantine before crew changes for vessels arriving from India

28 Apr 2021 / Fujairah, United Arab Emirates

As per the discussion held today at Fujairah Immigration, if a vessel is coming directly from India, it must complete 15 days’ quarantine in order to carry out any crew change at Fujairah. The 15 days is calculated from the day when the ship departed the Indian port.

If a vessel is coming from India to Fujairah, transiting through or touching some other port (outside the UAE), there is no issue to carry out crew change at Fujairah provided that the ship has clearance from a foreign port.
