Six crew members on board Bow Fortune tested positive on May 6 following mandatory tests for ships coming from Kakinada, India. None of the crew members were experiencing symptoms.
Bow Fortune remained at anchor in Kuala Tanjung in Indonesia, and followed procedures by implementing a number of precautionary measures onboard. The Covid-19 project group was mustered to assist the Captain and crew, coordinate with local representatives, and plan next step for commercial and operational logistics. The involved charterers were also informed.
Six days later, the second Covid-19 tests taken of the six crew members (who originally tested positive) all showed negative results. Bow Fortune proceeded with its journey as planned.
