Ras Laffan port authorities have issued updated COVID-19 protocols applicable to all offshore support vessels (OSV) crew changes and personnel transfers to/from offshore workplaces through Ras Laffan Port.
All personnel intending to board OSVs in Ras Laffan Port and/or those personnel working in the port shall be required to undergo Covid-19 screening in accordance with this protocol. This screening shall be in addition to existing procedures including but not limited to guidelines for personnel transfer by vessels.
Masters must ensure that new joiners and all other persons boarding to/from Ras Laffan Port have passed the health screening and hold an appropriate certificate (Negative swap test results within the past 72 hours). The Master must report any breach in the process to the Port Authority immediately and shall prohibit any person to be transferred to an offshore workplace if not holding appropriate health screening certificate.
The resumption of Seaman/Business visa processing is still under discussion.
Ras Laffan port authorities will consider sign-off from newly arrived vessels prior 90 days stay if the crew members have Swab test result from last port, subject to Immigration department approval.
No shore leave shall be granted to any of the vessel crew members upon arrival at Ras Laffan Port except for any emergency life threating case(s) onboard other than COVID-19 after approval from QP Medical. Shore leave security passes for medical cases (except emergency crew taken through ambulance) will be issued based on Immigration prior approval and validity of security pass will be same as Immigration shore leave pass validity.
