Ship sanitation inspections
Ships that travel internationally require a valid sanitation certificate every six months under World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines.
A ship sanitation inspection includes an inspection of all areas of the ship assessing all of the controls in place, such as
- waste management
- food safety
- vector control
- portable water and infection.
Following an inspection, an Environmental Health Officer will issue either a Ship Sanitation Exemption Certificate of Ship Sanitation Control Certificate, which is valid for six months.
How to arrange a ship sanitation inspection?
Inspections are carried out at the request of the ship's master or agent.
If you require a ship sanitation inspection at the Port of Workington or Port of Silloth, telephone or email us at least two working days before the inspection is required.
