Seafarers on cargo ships (vessels that transport goods and carry no passengers) and fishing vessels face particular challenges in carrying out their functions and maintaining their health in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic.
They work in close contact environments likely to facilitate the transmission of COVID-19. In some cases, they embark on extended voyages without calling at any port for long periods. An outbreak on board a ship is a concern for the safety and well-being of the crew and may affect the crew’s ability to safely navigate and operate the ship.
Target Audience: Shipowners, seafarers, unions and associations, competent authorities for health and transport..
After completing this module you will be able to:
- Describe the public health measures that may protect seafarers throughout their journey to the vessel, on the vessel, and on the way home;
- Prevent and manage an outbreak of COVID-19 disease on board a cargo ship or fishing vessel
