Passengers having Covid-19 Symptoms on Arrival

Passengers having Covid-19 symptoms will be sent to a Government hospital for a checkup and then quarantined without taking a look at the vaccination proof and will be released when a negative Covid report will arrive. Non-vaccinated passengers below the age of 18 can enter Bangladesh if other family members of him/her are vaccinated fully. However, children below 10 can travel without any certificate.

Covid-19 Testing Requirements

The passengers who travel to Bangladesh must have a negative Covid-19 report (valid for 72 hours only) from a WHO approved test centre. All ministers and their family members must follow the same suit for their arrival.

Crew Change at Different Locations at Chittagong : Facilities & Limitations

Crew Change Program at Chittagong port Outer Anchorage

Shipowners may plan for carrying out crew change while the vessel is anchorage. It is done when the ship is scheduled to discharge full cargo at anchorage.  We don’t recommend any crew change at KUTUBDIA, OPA to avoid additional boat expenses and extra charges. Once we are appointed to carry out crew change from ship at anchorage. We receive crews from Airport, complete the local formalities and bring him/ them to vessel at anchorage by secured speed boat. For sign off the program, our official will collect documents from vessel and crews will be brought to shore for formalities and immigration, before they are taken to the airport to catch the scheduled flight. Most of the airlines including QATAR AIRWAYS, INDIAN Airways, Emirates, FLY DUBAI etc. made it is compulsory, in addition of airport immigration requirements, we arrange COVID test either at the vessel or at a local suitable place.

Crew Change Program in Bangladesh from Tanker Vessel carrying LNG and takes berth at Shitakhundo terminal

Most of LNG carrying vessel takes berth at  Shitakundo terminal. We have handled many crew change cases over there. We just need to take some extra measures for sign on or off once carried out from there. It is located at Chittagong but transportation and boat charges are high enough due to communication problem and distance. Especially in rainy season, crew change at this point is little difficult. Another difficulty situation may arise when tanker vessel takes only 10 to 12 hours to complete full cargo discharge. We need to make all work together related to crew change in such like situation.

Crew Change program at Chittagong port inner harbour

It is highly recommended to carry out crew change program once ship is at berth. It is possible if vessel has berthing program. Once we are assigned, we check with port/ owners for discharging program and guide accordingly. Crew change from berth is cost effective as  it saves transportation charges and accommodation expanse, if any required.   Besides this, the whole process is same as  it is applicable for crew change form anchorage, whether it is sign on or off.
