Additional Precautionary Measures To Marine Terminals And Port Service Providers

Due to the ever intensifying Covid19 pandemic, the Ports and Yachting Directorate has issued additional precautionary measures applicable to all vessels that have been given the green light to obtain services in Maltese waters and ports.

All those working in marina terminals including port service providers should be aware that following recent legislative efforts to try and combat the entry of Covid19 from reaching our shores via our ports, the Maltese Authorities have taken the following measures, namely;

• Disallowing all crew members on board such vessels to disembark throughout the duration of its call in Maltese waters and ports;

• Disallowing all individuals (with the exception of Maritime Pilots, Port Workers and Terminal Personnel involved in cargo handling) from boarding such vessels unless specific permission is attained from the Port Health Medic;
