02 Mar 2022 / Singapore
The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore has revised its crew change requirements, effective from today (2 March).
SIGNING-ON
Fully vaccinated crew from “Active Vaccinated Travel lane” may sign on without serving SHN and does not required to take VTL flight. They must have a negative result from a COVID-19 test (PCR) taken at a government-approved or ISO 15189-accredited testing facility at his/her originating country not more than 2 days prior departure for Singapore. The crew may also produce a negative, professionally administered Antigen Rapid Test (ART) result taken within 2 days prior to departure from Category I/II/III/IV countries/regions
The requirement for FTT for fully vaccinated crew prior departure for Singapore is removed. Non-vaccinated crew will still need to have FTT within 24 hours prior to their departure home country.
Vessel should depart port once crew change is completed.
Crew who are fully vaccinated and recently recovered (i.e. within 90 days of their last infection) will be exempted from all testing and SHN requirements if they are able to provide appropriate documentary proof. Non-fully vaccinated recently-recovered travellers will be exempted from pre-departure testing requirements, but will still be subjected for SHN.
SIGNING-OFF
Crew must not have gone ashore in the last 7 days before disembarking the ship and no interaction with shore based personnel at previous port in the last 7 days.
DESIGNATED CREW CHANGE HOLDING FACILITIES
Unvaccinated signing-on and signing-off crew may stay at the designated holding facilities in Singapore up to 24 hours and fully vaccinated crew can use the holding facility up to 5 days.
Submission of crew change application can be made at least 3 days in advance, instead of 7 days.
