SembMarine to limit workers in shipyard until the end of circuit breaker period

This aims to reduce the transmission of coronavirus amongst workers.

Sembcorp Marine (SembMarine) reduces the number of workers allowed to work in shipyards starting Tuesday until the end of the “circuit-breaker” period, according to a government order. This follows the rise in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases among foreign workers in dormitories.

The move is intended to contain the transmission of the coronavirus and reduce the risk of infections spreading amongst workers. Foreign workers staying in dormitories must now be indoors and will not report to work until May 4.

The lessening of the workforce in shipyards is implemented and as such, the majority of personnel related production activities will not be required on site.

The company’s earlier approved exemptions are still valid however, the latest circuit breaker measures placed further limits on the number of people allowed to work at SembMarine yards.

SembMarine yards stay open and will continue to maintain essential manning to ensure the safety of the work and the facilities.
