Ports and Shipping

Hi everyone and Meri Kirihimete (Merry Xmas in Maori)  

Has anyone got any operational procedures on the response to rodent sightings/infestations they would be willing to share?

Dear Colleagues,

I had been researching various documents and was particularly interested in the FAL documents that we often see (e.g. IMO General Declaration, Ships Stores Declaration, Crew List etc).

Whilst I have seen these documents many times before, I hadn't really given any thought to the convention behind them: The Convention on Facilitation of International Maritime Traffic, 1965 or FAL convention.

An upcoming live webinar titled “Border health measures to reduce the potential for the introduction or exportation, and spread of public health diseases of international concern” is organized within the framework of EU HEALTHY GATEWAYS joint action. Please find below the announcement. Register for the webinar and benefit from this sharing opportunity!

Hoima is located approximately 230 kilometres, by road, northwest of Kampala, the capital of Uganda and the largest city in that country.

If the case is confirmed, it would ring alarm bells regarding the spread of the disease to a neighbouring country marking,thereby, the shift of the outbreak from one stage to a higher one. Here is the link:
