Ship medical stores supply in Vietnam: masks and hygiene kits

Published

SVC Marine supplied medical scrubs kits, masks, hand rubs and test kits to vessels in Vietnam during the COVID-19 period. The work photographs show the ship-store supply for those port calls.

For new calls, SVC supplies the appointed medical and hygiene stores and performs the agreed port health attendance, appointment, transport and document work with the vessel and authorised parties. Product availability, receiving access, authority instructions and the actual crew medical requirements define each order or attendance scope.

01

Medical stores delivered for the vessel

The supplied items addressed the vessel’s medical and hygiene requisition. The historical work belongs to the requirements in force during that period; a new order is prepared against the current product list and receiving needs.

The historical supply covered medical scrubs kits, medical masks, hand rubs and test-related items during the COVID-19 period. SVC supplied the stores for those vessel calls and attended the delivery requirements applicable then. Crew health checking and port health procedures were governed by the relevant local requirements at that time.

For a new call, establish the required items and current receiving and port health arrangements before confirming the order. The historical photographs retain their original association with that supply work.

02

Medical and hygiene stores for a new requisition

SVC supplies selected medical, PPE and hygiene stores for commissioned vessel orders. Requisitions can concern routine operation, crew health management, port health inspection, emergency support, epidemic prevention or the company safety policy. Identify the particular requirement and quantities instead of treating a standard kit as a substitute for the vessel’s item list.

  • Medical masks.
  • Medical scrubs kits.
  • Disposable gloves.
  • Hand rubs and hand sanitizers.
  • Disinfectants and cleaning products.
  • Basic medical consumables.
  • First aid items.
  • Thermometers and selected health monitoring items.
  • PPE for crew and visitors.
  • Medical waste bags and hygiene supplies.
  • Other vessel medical stores, subject to availability and applicable local requirements.

03

Specify the next medical-store order

List the item, quantity, pack size, required product specification and acceptable equivalent. Give any shelf-life and product-document requirements against the item so the quotation and receiving list use the same particulars.

Send the required delivery place, port or terminal, ETA, urgency and agent contact with the requisition. Keep the product standard or certificate requirement, pack size, quantity and shelf-life requirement attached to the relevant item. These particulars define the order and receiving checks; substitutions need the buyer’s acceptance.

SVC checks the commissioned supply scope and delivery arrangements with the vessel and agent. Confirm the actual product documents and item availability before the receiving window is fixed.

04

Ship sanitation inspection attendance

For an appointed sanitation-related attendance, SVC checks the vessel-call requirements with the relevant port health or quarantine authority, prepares the requested documents and attends the inspection arrangements onboard. The vessel type, trading history, onboard condition, authority instructions and inspection findings determine the applicable requirements.

Confirm the current instructions before arrival. The worklist identifies documents, attendance and the inspection schedule, including a tight vessel-call window where practicable. Certificate decisions and issuance remain with the relevant authority; SVC follows the actual status and outstanding requirements.

  • Check the port health requirements for the particular vessel call.
  • Prepare the requested basic vessel and crew information.
  • Arrange the appointed onboard sanitation inspection attendance.
  • Submit the required health related documents through the instructed process.
  • Communicate with the local port health authority on the appointed vessel matter.
  • Follow the sanitation certificate status after inspection.
  • Review urgent attendance needs against the vessel schedule and authority availability.

05

Crew medical visits and records

For an appointed crew medical matter, SVC arranges the requested appointment, transport and document follow-up with the authorised doctor, clinic or hospital. Examination, clinical assessment, treatment and medical certificates are handled by those medical parties.

The arrangement depends on crew condition, nationality, company requirements, medical assessment, clinic availability, port location and current local procedures. Confirm what can be arranged before setting the attendance timing and cost. Fit to travel or fit for duty documents are followed only where applicable and issued by the authorised medical parties.

  • Arrange the requested crew medical examination.
  • Book the doctor or clinic appointment for the appointed case.
  • Arrange transport between the vessel, port gate, hotel, clinic and airport as required.
  • Follow the medical report with the authorised medical party.
  • Follow applicable fit to travel or fit for duty documents.
  • Arrange emergency medical attendance and transport with the appropriate medical parties.
  • Handle the appointed medical documents for the owner, manager or crewing department through private channels.

06

Port health and crew attendance worklist

Port-health and crew medical work involves crew health, authority requirements, vessel timing, public-health considerations and the company safety policy. Missing documents or assumptions based on an older call can affect clearance, crew change, cargo work or sailing.

SVC undertakes the appointed supply, attendance, transport and document work. Establish the required medical party and port health instructions for that call and identify the outstanding items before the receiving or appointment window.

  • Attend the appointed port health matter.
  • Deliver commissioned medical stores to the vessel.
  • Arrange the requested crew medical check with the medical party.
  • Attend the sanitation-inspection and certificate-status requirements.
  • Follow the applicable crew medical documents.
  • Arrange emergency crew medical attendance with the medical parties.
  • Arrange the appointed transport and hospital or clinic attendance.
  • Keep the master, owner, manager, agent and relevant local parties informed of the actual arrangements.

07

When to request medical stores or attendance

Owners and managers can send a requisition or attendance scope when a vessel call involves any of the following needs. Identify the actual requirement and its urgency so supply and appointment work can be planned separately.

  • Port-health inspection requirements.
  • Sanitation certificate requirements.
  • Crew medical examination requirements.
  • Crew illness or a medical concern onboard.
  • Medical-store shortages.
  • Company health and hygiene requirements.
  • Crew change requiring medical document follow-up.
  • Charterer or terminal health requirements.
  • Urgent PPE, masks, disinfectants or hygiene stores.

08

Combine medical stores with a ship-supply order

SVC supplies commissioned medical and hygiene stores alongside provisions, PPE and other ship consumables. Send the port, ETA and receiving point to SVC’s ship-supply department. See ship supply in Vietnam and the separate crew hospital attendance work.

A combined order can include provisions, consumables, PPE, cleaning materials, tools, spare parts and other urgent ship stores. Keep each item description, quantity, product-document requirement and receiving location clear on the quotation and delivery list.

Crew-medical attendance remains a separate appointed workstream from delivering medical stores. Agree the product order and the medical party appointment or document requirements independently.

09

Vietnam ports and related ship-supply enquiries

Medical-store, ship chandling and appointed port health or crew medical enquiries can be reviewed for selected Vietnamese ports, anchorages and shipyards. State the actual terminal or receiving point; vessel timing, local access, authority instructions and the appointed scope determine the arrangements.

Coverage enquiries include Hai Phong, Lach Huyen, Hon Gai, Cam Pha, Cai Lan, Nghi Son, Cua Lo, Vung Ang, Son Duong, Hon La, Chan May, Da Nang, Dung Quat, Quy Nhon, Nha Trang, Vinh Tan, Vung Tau, Phu My, Cai Mep, Ho Chi Minh City, Long An and other selected Vietnamese locations. These are service enquiries; the historical supply photographs retain the original job association.

For related calls, see Hai Phong ship chandling, Phu My ship supply and Long An ship supply. Send a separate product list and receiving window for the actual vessel call.

10

Delivery and attendance particulars

For a medical-store quotation, give the item descriptions, quantities, pack sizes, product specifications or acceptable equivalents, shelf-life and product-document requirements, port, ETA, delivery location and urgency. Confirm port permission, launch-boat arrangements and safety conditions where delivery is to an anchorage.

For inspection or crew medical attendance, identify the required certificate or appointment type, company or authority instructions, port and available timing. Supply vessel particulars and any necessary crew details privately to SVC’s ship-supply department. The worklist records appointments, transport, documents and outstanding actions rather than promising a certificate or medical outcome.
