PART II | 5 - DOCUMENTATION

5.1 - GENERAL

PPA places importance on complying with rules and regulations. The vessel can be subjected to inspection by the Harbour Master’s representative or Port State Control inspector. Since the port operations take place around the clock, these inspections may take place during the day or night. To ensure a smooth operation, vessel’s Masters are advised to keep the required documentation and certificates (or certified copies of certificates) readily available at all times.
