Port users in Port Klang have been
assured that all precautions have been taken against the spread of
influenza A (H1N1).
Port Klang Authority general manager Lim Thean Shiang said ships
from affected countries would have to fly the Q (quarantine) flag
but would be allowed to berth.
Once cleared by the port health authority, the ships would be able
to off load their cargo, Lim said in a press statement yesterday.
Vessels with suspected infected persons on board would have to
anchor until they were cleared by the department.
Lim added that pilots bringing in the vessels from affected
countries had also been equipped with personal protection
equipment such as disposable gloves and N95 face masks.
