What is Port Contacts?

The “Port Contact List” is shown in the App. 3.

If a change in the ship’s range of trade or a change in the addresses of persons/ Authorities of the ports/ terminals served regularly takes place the Master or any other person aboard delegated by the Master is required to issue a new list.
Where ship’s service makes it not feasible to prepare such a list the Master should seek guidance concerning such local Port Contacts and local reporting procedures upon arrival in port.
Addresses obtained in this way should be documented aboard in the form that the Master considers most effective and should be attached to the Plan.
