Singapore has unveiled plans to vaccinate what it describes as non-resident foreign seafarers in a bid to strengthen the city-state's resilience against the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Sea Crew Vaccination Initiative (SEAVAX) will be aimed at crew in Singapore with stays of more than 30 days, who work on board homeported cruiseships and vessels under repair at shipyards.
It also includes those who work on board fishing vessels, supply ships and regional ferries that enter and leave Singapore waters at least once a month.
