Year: 2021 Language: english Author: Gard Genre: Handbook Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 11 Description: Vessels calling at certain ports in the Asia Pacific between May and September should be inspected and “certified free of Asian Gypsy Moth” prior to departure, this to minimise the potential for regulatory action when arriving in a country where this destructive forest pest is not native. The Asian Gypsy Moth (AGM, including Lymantria dispar asiatica, Lymantria dispar japonica, Lymantria albescens, Lymantria umbrosa, Lymantria postalba) is a destructive forest pest known to spread via ocean-going vessels in international trade. The pest has established populations only in countries in the Asia Pacific, such as Russia, China, Korea, and Japan. If introduced in countries where it does not exist naturally, it has the potential to seriously affect the country’s agricultural and forest resources. Adult moths frequently lay their egg masses on vessels and shipping containers, and since these egg clusters often survive to hatch at ports of call around the world, exclusion efforts are considered a priority by many local port authorities. Preventing the introduction and spread of AGM is a shared responsibility that relies on cumulative efforts at origin, en route and at arrival in port. However, it is the responsibility of the ship operator to meet all port entry requirements related to AGM and managing the risk at its origin to ensure that a vessel is free of AGM upon departure from ports in the infested areas is recognised as the key measure. Frequently asked questions (FAQ) General knowledge about the AGM and each country’s requirements on how to manage AGM risks will minimise the potential for regulatory action and delays during port entries. The purpose of this FAQ is therefore to provide answers to some of the AGM related questions raised by Gard’s Members and clients, to summarises the requirements set forth by each of the regulating countries and provide links to relevant government websites. The FAQ also contains guidelines for how the crew can carry out systematic self-inspections onboard the vessel while en route. .
