USCG HOUSTON COC INSPECTIONS<span-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">

 <span-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">

USCG Houston is experiencing COC inspection delays due to human resource shortages, resulting in delays of more than 10 days for some vessels.  <span-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">

 <span-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">

USCG Houston will only attend a vessel at a berth in Houston.<span-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">

 <span-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">

We suggest making COC request as far in advance as possible.

 

USCG Galveston, Texas City, Freeport requires the vessel have verifiable cargo orders for their port before they will conduct a COC inspection.<span-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#00B050">

COVID @ HOUSTON

 

COVID VACCINE:

The Houston International Seafarer’s Center is working with Workplace Safety Screenings and are offering on board J & J vaccinations for crewmembers.

 

Please note that supplies are limited and vaccines are only available first come, first serve. They cannot be reserved.

 

The vaccine team charges $150/hr (3 hour min) to vaccinate the entire ship (whether 1 seafarer or 25).

 

The vaccine cards will be issued and provided upon completion.  After they have registered the vaccinations with the State of Texas, a certificate will be issued.  Upon receipt of all the crews’ certificates, they will be emailed to the agent. The vaccine card and certificate should be kept together; this will assist in showing proof of the vaccine internationally.

 

COVID TESTING:<span-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">

Rapid COVID-19 test (results in approx. 20 minutes) cost $400 per test.<span-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">

PCR standard COVID-19 test (results in approx. 48 hours) cost $350 per test.<span-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">

CBP Houston is currently not permitting off-signers to stay in hotel to wait for their flights home. They must go direct for vessel to IAH for their flights.<span-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">

 <span-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">

Valid C1-D USA visa is required for all off-signers by CBP Houston, on very rare occasions will exception be made by CBP Houston.
