Compulsory Maritime Health Declaration

Following the World Health Organisation declaration that Liberia is now free of the Ebola virus transmission, Singapore has updated the National Environment Agency (Port Health Office) requirement for all arriving vessels that have been to the Ebola affected countries (i.e. Guinea and Sierra Leone) in the past 21 days.

All such arriving vessels are required to submit the Maritime Declaration of Health Form to the Port Health Office/Central Regional Office on arrival at Singapore Port. The Maritime Declaration is to be submitted regardless whether there are any sick passengers or crew on board.

This procedure is to be implemented with immediate effect.
