• Exchange information about your health status and your COVID 19 policy
(in advance) if necessary.
• Use outside passageways for transfers if possible.

• Keep cool and dry conditions on the bridge. Avoid hot and humid conditions which may enable a virus to stay alive on surfaces.

• Wash your hands before, during and after duty.
• Avoid face contact of your hands.
• Avoid handshakes and minimize ship surface contacts.
• Keep a safety distance to other persons of 1,5m - 2m if practicable.

• Maintain a supply of hand sanitizer on the bridge. Any member of the bridge team should use hand sanitizer on their hands immediately after touching their face at all.
• Please only allow essential personnel in the wheelhouse during transit.
• Maintain situational awareness (e.g. if eating and drinking on duty is safely possible).
