The Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) has implemented the guidelines in conducting a remote inspection of ships and shipyards under the ‘new normal’ in the maritime industry.

Marina Administrator Vice-Admiral Robert Empedrad issued Marina Advisory 2020-75, on the implementation of conduct of remote inspection, survey, audit, compliance monitoring of company, ship, and shipyard, given the implementation of social distancing and mobility restrictions to prevent further transmission of coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).

Marina allowed remote inspection of ships and shipyards to ensure the safety and well -being of all, amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

“The remote inspection, survey, audit, compliance monitoring of companies, ships and shipyards shall be conducted via online video communication platforms,” Marina said.
