Military vessels included in the IHR.
Dears, the Belgium Port Health Auth. issues SSCEC to the military vessels on their request.
Are there PHA that visit military vessels to check if they have a valid SSCEC?
thanks for your response

Dear colleagues,
The requirements of the IHR include several provisions for vector control measures, including disinsection, relating to aircraft and other conveyances, as well as measures to maintain points of entry free from sources of infection including mosquito vectors and reservoirs. This may require a perimeter exceeding 400 metres (IHR Art. 22b, Annex 5.4).

Dear colleagues,
Mass gatherings may facilitate the importation/ exportation of communicable diseases and challenge preparedness and health surveillance at points of entry.
A sensitive and timely syndromic surveillance enables to identify health threats which might develop further.
Allow me to share with you this interseting article about Kumbh Mela ,in India, which is the biggest mass gathering all over the world.

Dear Colleagues,
You may be interested to note that recent amendments to MARPOL Annex V came into force on 1 March 2018 affecting garbage disposal form ships.
MEPC.270(70) has brought in a need for shippers of Bulk Cargoes (except grain) to determine whether cargoes are "Harmful to the Marine Environment" (HME) and also a revised format for the garbage record book including a new e-waste category.

Since January last year Belgium switched over to an electronic MDH. The ships agent has to fill in the form using the port information system. Most of the time is is going very well. So what are your experiences with the electronic MDH? What kind of measures are in use if the MDH has not been filled in properly?
Many thanks for your response
PHA. Belgium

This news item caught my eye and I thought it worthy of following it up with a discussion about practical issues for ports.
The inference to me here is that vessels that may have tried to get an Ship Sanitation Certificate renewal in France and have a copy of this attestation should not be penalised if they subsequently enter a new point of entry with an expired SSC. This may go against legislation in other countries but I think that the purpose of the attestation is to explain extenuating circumstances that were outside the vessels control.
