Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The following now applies to all vessels visiting the Ports of Tees and Hartlepool.

Under UK and International Health Regulations, vessels entering port are normally required to submit a Maritime Declaration of Health only when there has been an occurrence on board that may affect public health.

Due to the ongoing situation with COVID -19, additional requirements to submit a Maritime Declaration of Health will now apply.

Please ensure that a Maritime Declaration of Health is completed and conveyed to River Tees Port Health Authority and Tees VTS, if anyone on board presents with flu-like symptoms, including a fever, a cough, or difficulty breathing.
