02 Apr 2021 / Sri Lanka
The Government of Sri Lanka has once again allowed to carry out crew changes via land based isolation centers (ICs).
The cost per passenger is USD 900.00, USD 450.00 less than the Offshore Crew Transit Hub (OCTH) operating model.
Another benefit of the land-based isolation centres is that it reduces launch trips to one, instead of three, enabling the same launch to transfer on/off signers.
Further, given the current rough weather conditions, it will be more comfortable and convenient for crew staying at the IC rather than at OCTH.
The Government is yet to make a decision on allowing seafarers to arrive/depart via commercial flights. The status quo for air travel (via chartered flights to/from Mattala) remains unchanged.
All on-signing seafarers are required to carry out PCR tests at the respective IC upon arrival and permitted to leave to join the ship only on receipt of a negative report. As PCR tests reports may take up to 24 hours, arrival of seafarers should be scheduled at least 24 hours ahead of ship arrival.
The all-inclusive revised tariffs for foreign seafarers’ crew changes are as follows:
Requests for Trincomalee/Hambantota/Norochcholai seaport crew changes will be with special additional rates and will be handles case-by-case.
