What is the name of the form given to the Customs authority to determine the health conditions of persons on board the vessel?

• A. Maritime Health Declaration
• B. Vessel Health Certificate
• C. Crew Health Report
• D. Shipping Health Form

Answer: (A)

Maritime Health Declaration is the form used to inform port authorities and Customs about the health status of people on the vessel. It collects information on symptoms, recent illnesses, vaccination status, exposure to contagious diseases, and other health-related factors of crew and passengers. This document enables authorities to quickly assess health risk on board and decide if any further medical checks, reporting, or quarantine actions are needed before the vessel can proceed. The other names listed aren’t standard terms for reporting health conditions to Customs, so they don’t fit the established practice of submitting a health declaration specifically for maritime crews and passengers.
