Foreign Crew Change Ban extended until Jan-31

DATE PUBLISHED 16-01-21
The Philippines temporary ban on international crew change has been extended to the end of January and now covers 35 countries with the addition of the UAE and Hungary.

Marcus Hand | Jan 15, 2021 (Seatrade-Maritime)

The Philippine Port Authority (PPA) said that a memo from the Philippines government Department of Transport had extended the temporary ban due to expire today, 15 January, had been extended until the 31 January.

The list of countries on the ban, which relates to the new mutation of the Covid-19 virus that spreads more easily, and has now been increased to 35 countries with the addition of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Hungary.

“The memo provides that all vessels coming from any of the flagged countries within 14 days immediately preceding arrival in the Philippines are barred from disembarking their foreign seafarers,” PPA said. The move is in line with a travel ban to the Philippines from the same 35 countries.

For Filipino national seafarers arriving from the 35 listed countries in the last 14 days disembarkation is not prohibited, however, is only allowed in the Port of Manila with transfer by shipping agents to dedicated facilities for a strict 14-day quarantine.

The PPA has set up six crew changes hubs in the country at Manila South Harbor, Port Capinpin in Bataan, Port of Batangas, and Sasa Wharf in Davao. (source : Seatrade-Maritime)

Philippines and the EMSA Audit

DATE PUBLISHED 17-10-18

Tugade claims Philippines is ‘fully compliant’ with Emsa standards (source business mirror Oct-2)

The Philippine government is now fully compliant with standards set by the European Maritime Safety Agency (Emsa), a body that screens seafarers from different parts of the world who aspire to work with European flag vessels, Transportation Secretary Arthur P. Tugade declared. 

In his recent meeting with International Maritime Organization (IMO) Secretary-General Kitack Lim in London, Tugade cited “a lot of positive developments” in the Philippine maritime industry over the past two years. He noted improvements in state processes, industry competitiveness and education of Filipino seafarers.

Tugade’s effort is part of the government’s campaign to have the Philippines remain on a white list of countries for maritime manpower. It is feared that the country might be removed from the list should the government fail to tick off several issues on the country’s standards of training, certification and watch keeping (STCW) that were raised by the European body last year.

Tugade presented to Lim the initiatives of the Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) that addressed the well-being of Filipino seafarers, citing the “hassle-free” issuance of seafarer’s identification and record book, the agency’s online appointment system, the removal of uniform rental fees for applicants, and the upgrading and automating of exams.

According to Tugade, Lim emphasized the importance of Filipino seafarers in the global maritime industry. These men and women, he said, are “highly regarded” in the industry, and are often cited as examples to other countries “for their diligence and discipline.”

The Filipino transportation chief committed to continue to support the initiatives of the IMO, and to continue to push for reforms and policies that will set the bar for a “world-class” local maritime industry.

Marina, headed by administrator Leonardo B. Guerrero, is scheduled to present the developments of the local industry to the Emsa this month.

In an interview, Guerrero said Marina will submit the compliance report to the European bloc’s agency, which listed last year several issues on the country’s standards of training, certification and watch keeping (STCW) that may remove the Philippines from the list of whitelisted countries.

“We have already submitted our initial report. We intend to submit our compliance status this month, and by the end of October, we expect that somebody from Emsa will be contacting us for us to demonstrate the proof of evidence for compliance,” he said.

Included in the measures initiated by Marina is the extensive review and revision of seven existing national provisions and the development of six training course packages, all of which, Guerrero said, “are ready for implementation.”

He added that President Duterte’s issuance of Executive Order 63, which further strengthens the authority of Marina in implementing the 1978 International Convention on STCW, is another essential part of the measures being implemented.

The said issuance harmonizes the administration of maritime education programs and fosters interagency cooperation framework among various government agencies, such as the Commission on Higher Education, Department of Health and the Philippine Coast Guard.

It also ensures a stronger Marina representation in the technical panel on maritime education, and provides the agency a more explicit role and authority in the evaluation and inspection of maritime programs.

Last, Marina is “doing the final works” for the launching of an integrated information-technology system that will integrate the agency’s services and processes online. It is set to be formally introduced in 2019. (Business Mirror Oct-2, 2018)
