Restrictions for crew changes OPL

The Maritime Port Authority of Singapore has placed restrictions for crew changes for vessels outside of Singapore harbour limits more commonly known as OPL.

No sign-off or medical evacuation is permitted while vessel is at OPL, be it while in transit or at anchor. If owners or vessel intend to sign off crew / personnel, vessel must be prepared to:
- enter Singapore port limits and be subjected to the current port control measures
- submit the Maritime Health Declaration

Personnel that hold passports that can clear Singapore airport or land immigration entry checkpoints may still visit or sign-on vessel at OPL.

Delivery of ship spares, provisions, stores to vessel and off-landing of items/equipment from vessel at OPL is still permitted at this point.
