Singapore: Cruise workers would rather be onboard ships in a pandemic than home.
Barely six months ago, media reports labelled cruise ships as "early incubators" of the coronavirus. News feeds were filled with images of cruise workers marooned at sea, as fears of COVID-19 shut down international ports.

New Zealand: Shipping companies to manage and pay up for isolating crew.
Currently, crew who arrive in New Zealand to relieve workers on ships are not required to do 14 days in isolation and are only tested for Covid-19 if they have to spend at least three days in a managed isolation facility while they wait to board their ship.
But the port has written to shipping agents saying the country s latest Covid-19 outbreak, involving a local marine engineer and two colleagues, has identified significant failings and it was now enforcing a new rule for them to isolate for 14 days and return negative tests.Posted On:29-Oct-2020
