Malaysia has extended its Movement Control Order (MCO) until 4 March. Under the restrictions, inter-state and inter-district travels are only permitted with police permission for official requirements. Crew change formalities remain unchanged.

Crew changes in Bintulu are not recommended as Sarawak region has not relaxed its entry and exit rules. Arriving crew must quarantine in Kuala Lumpur for ten day, followed by another 14 days in in Bintulu for 14 days prior to being allowed to join the vessel. For leavers, 14 days quarantine is compulsory.
