The government announced the "Hong Kong Health Code" (Hong Kong Health Code) arrangement last Thursday (2nd). In the future, citizens who are exempt from quarantine and travel to and from Guangdong Province or Macau must keep their travel records for "Travel with peace of mind".
Huang Suiwen, Director of the Maritime Safety Administration of Macau, revealed today (5th) that if Hong Kong and Macau resume normal customs clearance, the shipping company promised to re-operate within 3 to 7 days and provide at least one shift per hour.
Su Baican, chairman of the Seaport Transport Industry Federation, said that Hong Kong and Macau ships have been suspended for 22 months. Although the shipping company still has many workers without pay, it is not a big problem to resume the voyage in a short period of time, but the manpower can only handle the initial stage, such as 1 hour per hour. The operation of the shift requires re-employment of manpower in the long run: "The problem is that many workers change their jobs. If they do a good job, will they be able to make Hong Kong and Macau ships again?"
The shipping company maintains its commitment to maintain vessel maintenance under the epidemic, at least one ship per hour during the initial period of customs clearance
Hong Kong and Macau have been closed for nearly two years. The Director of the Macau Maritime Safety Administration, Huang Suiwen, said at the event today (5th) that if the two places resume normal customs clearance and announce the resumption of passenger routes between Hong Kong and Macau, the shipping company promised Re-operate within 7 days, including providing at least one shift per hour.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Hong Kong and Macau routes have been suspended for nearly two years.
Huang Suiwen said that the authorities have been in contact with the management of the two major shipping companies operating related routes (namely TurboJET and Cotai Water Jet).
She pointed out that under the epidemic situation, shipping companies still have staff working in their branches and continue necessary work, including maintaining and repairing ships.
Suspended for 22 months
Su Bocan, chairman of the General Union of Seaport Transport Industry, also said that the shipping company has arrangements to maintain and repair the ships during the suspension period.
However, under forced unpaid leave and unpaid leave, many qualified employees have switched jobs. Although it is enough to cope with the initial shift density of at least 1 shift per hour, that is, the normal quarter, it is still necessary to increase manpower in the long run: "Stay here." All the workers in Dudu want to clear the customs and resume the flight as soon as possible. It is not easy to get back into the industry if they go (change jobs)."

He Yicheng said last month that Hong Kong and Macau customs clearance decisions are not in Macau
In June, Hong Kong had zero local cases for 14 consecutive days.
At that time, the Director of the Macao Health Bureau, Luo Yilong, said that the two governments have reached a consensus that Hong Kong people can be conditionally exempted from isolation, and that they plan to set up a circuit breaker mechanism.
However, the epidemic situation in Hong Kong and Macau changed, and customs clearance between the two places has not been restored until today.
The Chief Executive of Macau, He Yicheng, later stated in his policy address on November 16 that he must wait and see mainland policies. If Hong Kong and the mainland clear customs, Macau is expected to follow the mainland’s announcement of relevant measures.
He emphasized at the time that the decision-making power is not in Macau, saying that "Macao is just in the middle."
