<p>The National Maritime Information Centre (NMIC) is reporting to interested government
departments the movement and expected arrival information of vessels that have been
in ports or anchorages in Guinea, Liberia or Sierra Leone within the Ebola incubation
period (21 days). This information is made available to the ports and shipping communities,
including port health authorities.</p><p> </p><p>There are six ships on the current
Vessels of Interest (VoI) list which have, within the last 21 days, visited ports
in the three countries affected by the Ebola outbreak. A total of 67 VoIs has been
identified in the last two months. Most of these vessels have not called at a UK port
but were rather travelling to neighbouring countries. Of these vessels, none have
been identified as having any symptoms of Ebola like virus on board.</p>
