Hong Kong authorities on Jul 26 officially declared ban on all crew changes in HK, with the exception of the ships which call HK to carry out cargo operations.

The only loophole in the whole region, in all of South East Asia, is to be closed, understood, starting Jul 29.

It means, that anywhere around the region, in any country and port, onsigners are to undergo 14-day quarantine on arrival, thus rendering the whole operation either impossible, or very costly and unpredictable in its’ outcome.
