Vessel Shifting Charges Due to Bad Weather & Force Majeure incident

08 Jan 2021 / Mundra, India

There have been instances where Mundra port has had to unberth or shift a vessel from berth to anchorage due to bad weather or force majeure incident.

The port has decided to issue a clarification on such cases and share the charge and therefore charge “50% of the pilotage charges” as the shifting charges to the vessel.

Please note that the final decision of shifting the vessel will be as per the port’s discretion taking into consideration the safety of port /vessel/crew, weather forecast etc.

The charges for vessel shifting due to bad weather will be applicable from 01 February 2021 and will be updated in the next revision of BPTS.
