Changes in pilot detention definition

10 Oct 2024 / Krishnapatnam, India

For better understanding and clarity, we have revised the definition of pilot detention as below:

“Vessel should be ready in all respect for berthing/sailing/shifting/warping at the nominated pilot boarding time. In exceptional cases, a maximum delay up to 30 minutes after nominated pilot boarding time will be allowed, if the pilot commenced work is delayed beyond 30 minutes after POB timing during the berthing/sailing/shifting/warping due to non-readiness of the vessel, pilot detention charges will become applicable for the entire duration of delay including first 30 minutes.’’

The above changes are effective immediately.
