Ships play a key role in the global transmission of infectious diseases. There are historical records dating back to14th century which provide evidence that ships carrying infectious diseases were denied access to ports. WHO has identified more than 100 different disease outbreaks associated with ships between 1970 and 2003.

UAE is well on its way as positioning itself as a Pivotal Hub of Global Shipping Industry. Dubai hosts services ranging from import or export of goods, to ship repairing and refueling. Half of the worlds international trader's tankers pass UAE shores every year. The shipping industry also supports tourism and recreation.

Because of the international nature of ship transport, international regulation related to sanitary aspects have been in place for more than half a century. With international businesses at its doorsteps, UAE shipping industry is working hard to ensure that any issues regarding the industry are solved more quickly and swiftly. One crucial element being sanitation.

Ship sanitation certificates are issued by health authorities in authorized ports after inspection. The certificate issued will be valid for six months and revocable if evidence of health risk is found. Hence the ship becomes liable to inspection at all times.

Ship Sanitation Certificates Can be of Two Types,

  1. Ship Sanitation Control Exemption Certificates (SSCEC) are issued to vessels that have passed flying fists that verifies that the ship is free of vectors, potential disease reservoirs or ill humans.
  2. Ship Sanitation Control Certificates (SSCC) are issued when a health risk is found, and control measures (fumigation, etc.) have been successfully carried out.
