Shipping lines operating services to Finland expect all sea passengers arriving in Finland to present a certificate showing that they have tested negative for COVID-19, effective from 23 February 2021, in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL). No certificate is required of cruise passengers who have not gone ashore in another country.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When boarding, all passengers, including Finnish citizens, must have a certificate of a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours before departure or a medical certificate of recovery from the infection. Passengers are asked to show the certificate upon request at the departure terminal and on arrival in Finland in connection with border control, or to present it to the health authorities on duty at the terminal.<\/p>\n

No certificate is required of cruise passengers who have not gone ashore in another country.<\/p>\n

Exempt from the obligation to present the certificate are children under 13 years of age as well as transportation relief crews, on-duty transportation crews and those returning from duty, logistics drivers and professional people who play a key role in maintaining emergency stocks of critical supplies, because the test requirement would make it practically impossible for them to carry out their duties.<\/p>\n

For the time being, the negative test certificate will not affect the existing travel restrictions or the prerequisites for entry into Finland. For the \u00c5land Islands, the special issues related to transport will be resolved by the local authorities.<\/p>\n

On 17 February 2021, the National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) issued a recommendation to all transport fleets and shipping lines with services to Finland for measures to prevent the spread of the mutated variants of the coronavirus to Finland.\u00a0 For more details on the certificate, check the THL recommendations at https:\/\/thl.fi\/en\/web\/thlfi-en<\/a>. <\/u><\/p>\n

Passenger security is the first priority for shipping lines. To stop the spread of the virus and ensure the health and safety of passengers, the companies have introduced a range of special measures, such as deep cleaning, disinfection and observance of safe distances at the terminals and onboard ships. Passengers are kindly requested to wear face masks onboard in situations in which adequate distances cannot be maintained.<\/p>\n

Q&A COVID-19 test certificate for ferrypassengers (updated 7.6.2021)<\/a><\/p>\n

Alates 23.veebruarist 2021 on laevafirmadel \u00f5igus n\u00f5uda v\u00e4lismaalt Soome saabuvatelt reisijatelt negatiivse koroonatesti tulemust<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Vastavalt Soome Tervise- ja sotsiaalameti (THL) soovitustele on Soomes opereerivatel laevafirmadel \u00f5igus k\u00fcsida k\u00f5igilt Soome saabuvatelt reisijatelt negatiivse koroonatesti tulemust. N\u00f5ue hakkab kehtima teisip\u00e4eval 23. veebruaril 2021. N\u00f5uet ei kohandata soomlastele, kes l\u00e4hevad kruiisile. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Reisijal peab laevale minnes olema 72 tunni sees tehtud negatiivse koroonatesti sertifikaat v\u00f5i arstit\u00f5end, mis kinnitab haiguse l\u00e4bip\u00f5demisest. Reisijatel palutakse esitada oma sertifikaat v\u00f5i t\u00f5end l\u00e4htesadama terminalis, \u00a0Soome saabumisel piirikontrollis v\u00f5i laeva saabumise terminalis olevatele tervishoiu ametnikele.<\/p>\n

T\u00f5endit ei n\u00f5uta kruiisireisijatelt, kes reisi sihtkohas maale ei l\u00e4he.<\/p>\n

Erandina ei n\u00f5uta sertifikaadi v\u00f5i t\u00f5endi esitamist j\u00e4rgnevatelt isikutelt: \u00a0alla 13-aastased lapsed, \u00a0kaubaveo juhid t\u00f6\u00f6kohustuste t\u00e4itmisel, t\u00f6\u00f6kohustustelt naasevad meremehed ja elut\u00e4htsat varustuskindlust tagavad isikud, kelle Soome saabumisel on testin\u00f5ue praktiliselt \u00fcletamatu takistus.<\/p>\n

Negatiivne testitulemus ei muuda hetkel kehtivaid reisipiiranguid ja maale tuleku eeldusi. Ahvenamaal lahendavad piirkondlikud ametiasutused liiklemisega seonduvad k\u00fcsimused eraldi.<\/p>\n

Soome Tervise- ja sotsiaalamet (THL) on 17. veebruaril 2021 v\u00e4lja andnud juhised k\u00f5igile Soomes tegutsevatele transpordiettev\u00f5tetele ja laevafirmadele meetmete kohta, millega t\u00f5rjutakse koroonaviiruse eri t\u00fcvede levimist Soomes. T\u00e4psemad juhised THL-i veebilehel.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

Reisijate turvalisuse tagamine on laevafirmadele esmat\u00e4htis prioriteet. Viiruse levimise takistamiseks ja reisijate turvalisuse tagamiseks on kasutusele v\u00f5etud laialdased erimeetmed nagu t\u00f5hustatud puhastus ja desinfitseerimine, distantsi hoidmine terminalides ja laevadel. Reisijatel soovitatakse laeval kanda maski kohtades, kus piisava distantsi hoidmine ei ole v\u00f5imalik.<\/p>\n
