A 25-year-old crew member on board the Diamantina cattle export vessel, which arrived at the East Arm Wharf from Indonesia last night, has tested positive for COVID-19.
Strict protocols are in place for any ships arriving into the Northern Territory.
These protocols were put in place earlier this year to protect vital supply chains while keeping the community safe.
The crew member was tested on board the vessel upon arrival into Darwin and is now in the care of Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH) in isolation. He did not leave the ship prior to being admitted to RDH.
