In an effort to ensure that foreign crew signing-off as D-2s can board commercial flight and safely depart from the United States as required, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at Port Everglades Seaport will require a negative COVID-19 test prior to granting any crewmember D2 status. The test may be administered on the vessel (for those that have that capacity), at last port call (if within 48 hours) or once the vessel arrives into Port Everglades, Florida.
If the test is to be administered in Port Everglades, the crewmember will be granted D1 status upon arrival for the sole purpose to travel to the test site. At the completion of the test, the crewmember must return to the vessel; to await the test results. If the test results are not available prior to the vessel’s departure, the crewmember must depart with the vessel. Under no circumstances will the crewmember be allowed to remain in the United States to await test results.
If a crewmember tests positive, the crewmember must be quarantined onboard the vessel unless they experience severe symptoms that require hospitalization. Any crewmembers requiring hospitalization must be paroled for medical treatment and the accompany CBP medical parole documentation must be submitted.
