Essential visitors to vessels

23 Oct 2020 / Norway

Service personnel, inspectors and surveyor from a “red” country (as approved by Norwegian Institute of Public Health) can now visit vessels at or off the country’s ports under the same terms as crew, provided their assignment is absolutely required for the operation of the vessel.

If their assignment is non-essential, they are subject to the general quarantine regulations ashore (ten days before entering vessel).
