COVID 19: Movement Restrictions

27 Mar 2020 / Tilbury, United Kingdom

In line with UK government restrictions that commenced Tuesday 25 March, travel in the UK is restricted and this includes any crew disembarking vessels in port.

In normal circumstances, ship’s crew should remain on board at all times when in port unless an emergency. If the Captain or Master of any vessel deem disembarkation essential, a request must be made to the Duty Harbour Master and disembarkation will only be permitted with written permission. Disembarkation will only be permitted in line with UK government restrictions and after discussion with the Port Police Duty Officer.

This will remain in force until further notice.
