There will be no signatories available on the first day of Eid for gate pass applications. Seaman transit pass /Gate Pass Endorsement can be obtained subject to port approval.

Anchorage inspections will be carried out only with customs pre-approvals and subject to the inspector’s availability.
Port customs will be closed on 1st day of Eid.
