Vessel shifting charges due to bad weather & force majeure incident

01 Mar 2021 / Dhamra, India

Considering safety of vessel, crew and port infrastructure, port has to unberth or shift the vessel from berth to anchorage due to bad weather or Force majeure incident. Port has decided to issue clarification on such cases and share the charge and therefore charge “50 % of the pilotage and towage charges” as the shifting charges to the vessel.

Please note that the final decision of shifting the vessel will be as per 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 01st March 2021 and would be updated in the next revision of BPTS.
