Required documentation & status of services at port

18 May 2020 / Lomé, Togo

All vessels calling at Lomé, both offshore and in the port, must send the following documents at least 72 hours prior to arrival:

  • Crew list – this must state crew embarkation port/Country and date.

  • Maritime Declaration of Health

  • Last 10 ports of call

In cases where this is not possible documents must be sent immediately on leaving the previous port of call.

Port Health will attend vessels arriving from affected countries, in order to disinfect the vessel first before any other persons embark to carry out their assigned jobs.

If a person is contaminated or showing symptoms of the COVID-19 virus, the port health authorities must immediately be called and an assessment of the state of health of the people on board will be carried out. Either they will be asked to remain confined to their cabins, or they will be disembarked and quarantined at the hospital CHU Campus de Lomé.

An alert state with mandatory curfew from 2100 to 0500 is still in force. The country’s borders remain closed to passengers, but this does not apply to movement of goods.

Deliveries of spare parts, provisions, fresh water are possible though there may be some delays due to the curfew and restricted opening hours.

There are no restrictions on STS and bunkering operations.

Garbage and slops removal is possible, but it is recommended to give 72 hours’ notice.
