Singapore aims to vaccinate 10,000 front-line maritime personnel against Covid-19 by the end of January, the country’s maritime regulator has promised.
These front-line personnel include port workers, harbour pilots, cargo officers, marine surveyors and marine superintendents who are required to work on board ships in port.
“Singapore became one of the first countries to prioritise Covid-19 vaccinations for front-line maritime personnel,” the Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) said.
