Annex 1: Measures Taken to Control the Spread of Covid-19 Onboard our Ships; Information for Crew Members and Employees Onboard our Ships
We have put in place new measures to help us to manage the current threat to health of Covid-19, enhancing our usual business practices. Through these new measures, we will collect and process your personal data, including certain sensitive personal data relating to your health. This will help us to ensure the health and safety of all those onboard, including you and all our crew, our guests and other third parties such as service providers. Some of the measures will also enable public authorities to control the spread of the virus.
Please note additional measures described in Section II which apply to crew members and employees onboard ships sailing to and from ports in Singapore and ships sailing in Singaporean waters
Section I: Measures in place onboard all ships
1. Health Questionnaires and Health Screening. Before you board Our ship, We may require that you provide certain information about your age, medical history, and current health to make sure that you are healthy enough to perform your contracted duties onboard and to try to identify symptoms of Covid-19. We collect this data from you and We rely on your honesty. We may also require that you undertake a medical examination and We may require that you undertake tests including temperature checks and tests for Covid-19. We may repeat some or all of these screening measures at debarkation and/or embarkation in ports of call, and at the point of debarkation at the end of your contract. All examinations, tests, and checks are to try to identify symptoms of Covid-19, so that We can minimise its spread and in order to comply with applicable laws and regulatory requirements.
2. Temperature Checks. We may test your temperature before embarkation, and we will take your temperature when you are onboard. We may also take your temperature at debarkation and/or embarkation in ports of call. This may be by asking you to walk through a temperature scanner, by presenting in a temperature testing kiosk, or a member of staff or a service provider may take your temperature personally using a thermometer. This is to try to identify symptoms of Covid-19.
3. Tests for Covid-19. We may ask you to undertake a test to identify whether you have Covid-19 or whether you have already had Covid-19 and have recovered from it. We may ask you to take this test at home, at a test centre and/or we may require that you take this test at the port before embarkation. We may also require you to take such tests during your contract and at debarkation on return to port. Crew members may be tested at random or on a schedule. We will also require you to be tested for Covid-19 in the event that we believe that you have come into close contact with someone who has tested positive for Covid-19. Again, these tests are used to identify people who have or who have had Covid-19, to seek to prevent spread of the virus and in order to comply with applicable laws and regulatory requirements.
4. Teleconsultation/Telemedicine. If during a temperature check you have a raised temperature or if you otherwise appear, in our reasonable judgment, to be symptomatic, We may contact you to schedule a teleconsultation in your stateroom. Such consultation may be followed up by an in-person appointment with our medical staff or a telemedicine appointment. Likewise, we may follow up with you by in-person appointment or by a telemedicine appointment if you presented to our medical staff in-person.
Teleconsultation and telemedicine means that your appointment will occur while our medical staff is in a different location than you and will use audio and/or video and other electronic software, applications and/or equipment to communicate with you. We will confirm your appointment for a teleconsultation/telemedicine and send you a medical consent and authorization form to your email, and request that you complete the form prior to your teleconsultation/telemedicine.
In scheduling of such appointments, or your otherwise reaching out to our medical staff, including in-person, We may collect certain personal information including sensitive personal information. For example, We may write down your name and stateroom number, how you are currently feeling, etc. Such information will be used to identify you and assess your current condition and will become part of your medical record.
5. Contact Tracing: Wearables. We will require you to participate in our contact tracing program as a part of which you will need to wear a wearable device. This device will identify the device number of any other individual with whom you are in close contact while you are onboard the ship, and approximate information about your location onboard. By ‘in close contact’, we mean within six feet of each other for a period of 15 minutes or more. If someone reports Covid-19 symptoms, the information we hold will then be analyzed to help us identify all those other individuals with whom the reporter has been in close contact onboard. We will then be able to invite individuals who we identify as having been in close contact with the reporter to take the appropriate next steps, which may be to monitor their own health, remain in isolation for a period of time, and/or have a teleconsultation or telemedicine appointment or seek out a medical examination or test for Covid-19, as appropriate. We will use the information we collect from the wearables only for the purposes of preventing the spread of communicable disease.
6. Contact Tracing: Identification and Mitigation Information. We may also use personal data within Our system to identify those individuals who have been in close contact when we suspect that an individual may have Covid-19. As above, by ‘in close contact’, we mean within six feet of each other for a period of 15 minutes or more. This system uses information about where you are working onboard, at what time, and which guests you served. We use roster information in our onboard systems along with details of guest transactions such as when guests purchase a drink at a certain bar, or when they dine in a particular restaurant. If someone reports Covid-19 symptoms onboard, whether they are a crew member or a guest, the information we hold will then be analyzed to help us identify all those other individuals with whom they have been in close contact onboard. We will then be able to invite individuals who we identify as having been in close contact with the reporter to take the appropriate next steps, which may be to monitor their own health, remain in isolation for a period of time, and/or have a teleconsultation or telemedicine appointment or seek out a medical examination or test for Covid-19, as appropriate.
Section II: Additional measures in place on ships sailing to and from ports in Singapore and on ships sailing in Singaporean waters
7. Contact Tracing and Monitoring of Compliance: CCTV and Recordings Onboard To further help the identification of those individuals who may have been in close contact with person who has tested positive for Covid-19, we may review and share with the Singaporean Ministry of Health information including photos, videos and CCTV footage and other information recorded while onboard, during embarkation and debarkation. While the primary purpose of the sharing of this data is contact tracing, the Singaporean authorities may also use these records to ensure our continuing compliance with safe management measures as required for our Singaporean CruiseSafe Certification. To the extent that crew members are seen in such records to fail to comply with the requirements of our healthy sail protocols (such as wearing appropriate personal protective equipment or maintaining appropriate social distance), enforcement action may be taken by the Singaporean authorities against us as a company and against any crew member found to be in breach.
8. Contact Tracing: Wearables: Use of Anonymized Data We will also share anonymized data collected from the wearables with the Singaporean Ministry of Health to allow the Ministry to understand patterns of interaction in different areas on board the ship. The Ministry of Health will only use this information in the event of positive cases of COVID-19 onboard.
9. Contact Tracing: TraceTogether Token The Singapore government requires that you carry a TraceTogether token with you at all times when you are outside your cabin. The ID of the TraceTogether token given to you will be logged. This token uses Bluetooth technology to connect to the TraceTogether tokens held by other individuals onboard, or TraceTogether apps which individuals have downloaded onto their mobile phones. Please note that all crew members must carry the TraceTogether token with them at all times, and all guests must either carry the TraceTogether token or their mobile phone with the TraceTogether app downloaded and in operation. In the event of a case of a positive case of COVID-19 onboard, the Singapore authorities will use the information collected by the tokens and the through the app for contact tracing purposes.
