03 Sep 2020 / South Korea
From 8 September, vessels that violate South Korea’s PCR Test Submission requirement face a penalty of up to one year imprisonment or a fine not exceeding KRW 10,000,000.
This applies to vessels which fail to submit PCR test certification or provide invalid (issued over 48 hours ahead or by an unapproved facility) or forged/falsified certification. To avoid any penalties, vessels should have valid PCR test when coming to Korean port after sailing from/via high risk counties.
The South Korean government has added the below to the list of high risk countries: Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Philippines, Uzbekistan and Russia.
If a vessel has come from any of the high risk countries and had crew change there, a PCR “negative” result should be submitted for the on-signer who embarked at the listed country.
If a vessel has come from any of the high risk countries and had shore leaver, it should submit the PCR “negative” result for the crew member(s) who went ashore in the listed country.
A PCR “negative” certificate is valid and accepted by Korean government only if it was issued at an approved facility within 48 hours before departure the listed high risk countries.
PCR test results are not required if there was no crew change or shore leave in the listed high risk countries.
