Description

Live animals. Before accepting animals for transport, a checklist to cover all aspects of carriage should be prepared. Consideration should also be given to local protest groups concerning this type of transport.

The checklist should include export/import regulations in the countries of origin and destination, transit permission through ports en route and quarantine rules applicable. Veterinary health certificates are required and also arrangements aboard ship for the provision of housing, exercise, feeding, lighting, grooming and general animal welfare.

If the shipper does not provide for special attendants: one or more members of the crew must attend.
