Abstract

This article examines the impact of COVID-19 on the international regulation of merchant shipping. First, it provides an overview of the international regulatory framework established by the WHO, IMO and ILO to respond to the impact of global health emergencies on international merchant shipping. It then examines the responses of these organisations and the shipping industry to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on merchant shipping. The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated that global health emergencies require enhanced preparedness and response planning and cooperation between the IMO, WHO and ILO, which includes consultation and cooperation with global shipping associations and seafarers’ unions. The objective of the preparedness and response planning should be to keep maritime supply chains open while preventing the spread of infectious disease from ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore or shore-to-ship. Equally important, the enhanced cooperation at the global level must be matched by enhanced inter-agency cooperation at the national level.

本文探讨了新冠肺炎对国际商船监管的影响。首先，它概述了世界卫生组织、海事组织和劳工组织为应对全球卫生紧急情况对国际商船的影响而建立的国际监管框架。然后，它审查了这些组织和航运业对新冠肺炎疫情对商船业影响的反应。新冠肺炎大流行表明，全球卫生紧急情况需要加强海事组织、世界卫生组织和劳工组织之间的准备和应对规划与合作，其中包括与全球航运协会和海员工会的协商与合作。准备和应对计划的目标应该是保持海上供应链的开放，同时防止传染病在船与船、船与岸或岸与船之间传播。同样重要的是，在加强全球一级的合作的同时，必须加强国家一级的机构间合作。
