On arrival of an infected or suspected ship or an infected aircraft the following measures may be applied by the health authority:

(a)

disinsecting of any suspect and surveillance for a period of not more than six days reckoned from the date of arrival;

(b)

disinsecting and, if necessary, disinfection of:

(i): any baggage of any infected person or suspect; and
(ii): any other article such as used bedding or linen, and any part of the ship or aircraft, which is considered to be contaminated.

2.

On arrival of a ship, an aircraft, a train, road vehicle or other means of transport having on board a person suffering from pulmonary plague, or if there has been a case of pulmonary plague on board a ship within the period of six days before its arrival, the health authority may, in addition to the measures required by paragraph 1 of this Article, place the passengers and crew of the ship, aircraft, train, road vehicle or other means of transport in isolation for a period of six days, reckoned from the date of the last exposure to infection.

3.

If there is rodent plague on board a ship or in its containers, it shall be disinsected and deratted, if necessary in quarantine, in the manner provided for in Article 54 subject to the following provisions:

(a): the deratting shall be carried out as soon as the holds have been emptied;
(b): one or more preliminary derattings of a ship with the cargo in situ, or during its unloading, may be carried out to prevent the escape of infected rodents;
(c): if the complete destruction of rodents cannot be secured because only part of the cargo is due to be unloaded, a ship shall not be prevented from unloading that part, but the health authority may apply any measures, including placing the ship in quarantine, which it considers necessary to prevent the escape of infected rodents.

4.

If a rodent infected with plague is found on board an aircraft, the aircraft shall be disinsected and deratted, if necessary in quarantine.
