Crew Changes

28 Dec 2021 / Singapore

Following on from our update on 6th December 2021 concerning local regulations regarding crew changes in the port of Singapore, please find an update from the Maritime Port Authority received this morning, 27th December 2021.

Singapore had previously announced that long-term pass holders and short-term visitors with recent travel history to Botswana, Eswatini, Ghana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, and Zimbabwe within the last 14 days will not be allowed entry into Singapore or transit through Singapore for a period of four weeks following initial reports on Omicron cases in these countries/regions.

Singapore will not be extending these border restrictions, taking into account global developments on the Omicron variant. All passengers with 14-day travel history to Botswana, Eswatini, Ghana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, and Zimbabwe prior to departure to Singapore will be allowed to enter and transit through Singapore from 26 December 2021, 2359 hours, and will be subjected to border measures for Category IV countries/regions.

Port Marine Circular (PMC) 44- 2021 has been removed.
