PHUKET:-- Nine Thai crew members of a cargo ship returning to Phuket were screened and placed into 14 day quarantine yesterday (June 1) by health officials.

 

The “SCHUMI”, an international LPG carrier owned by Thais but registered in Panama, had come directly from Myanmar with a total 17 Thai crew aboard, nine of whom were returning to Phuket after their employment contracts had expired.

 

According to the requirements issued under article 9 of the Emergency Decree, the vessel had requested permission via the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to travel to Thailand via the port of Phuket in order to transfer the nine crew members.

It's now just south of Singapore and seemingly tethered to a large Chinese vessel after some maneuvering to get there.
