The Netherlands COVID-19 vaccination programme for seafarers has been expanded to all seafarers working on ships calling the port of Amsterdam (and other Dutch seaports) as per 1 September 2021. Appointments can be scheduled by employers or ship agents that are based in the Netherlands by following the instructions on https://www.kvnr.nl/vaccines4seafarers. 

In cooperation with the Port of Amsterdam, the Seaman’s Centre of Amsterdam (Radarweg 32) is used as vaccination location for seafarers. The Dutch ministry of health has provided vaccines (Janssen) for this vaccination programme. Vaccination is done by the Arbo-Unie in the Seamen’s Centre of Amsterdam or aboard of the ship.
