HOW TO PREPARE FOR CALLING AT U.S. PORTS

Understand Clearly – Act Precisely – Minimize Risks

Preparing for a U.S. port call? It’s more than just setting a course—it’s a process that demands precision, compliance, and full awareness. Did you know:

✅ A single-minute delay in filing a declaration could hold your vessel for up to three days?
📑 An incomplete document may lead to denial of entry by CBP on the spot?
🔍 Do you know what’s required to obtain a Certificate of Compliance (COC)?
What does the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) inspect?
What is a TWIC card, and how does the Vessel Incidental Discharge Act (VIDA) apply to your vessel?

Calling at a U.S. port is a high-stakes operation—where preparation is key.
From documentation, security protocols, inspections, to detailed checklists for both vessel and crew, every step matters.
