Berthing Regulations: ..... 1. The allocation of a berth belonging to, or operated by, the Authority shall be at the Authority's discretion. 2. A vessel shall be considered for berthing allocation only after the agent of said vessel has filed an application for berth. 3. All applications for berthing in pier/wharf/anchorage shall be submitted 24 hours before arrival for vessels on scheduled runs and 36 hours for tramping vessels (without regular schedules). 4. All applications received after the berthing meeting shall be deliberated upon the following day before the actual arrival of the vessel. 5. No vessel shall be berthed or unberthed alongside a wharf or pier belonging to, or operated by, the Authority without its permission or contrary to its direction, nor shall any vessel occupy a berth other than the berth allocated to said vessel. 6. First come-first served basis shall be the general rule in determining berthing priorities of vessels, subject to the exceptions provided. Vessel's arrival will mean the time a vessel drops anchor at the anchorage area when there is no available area or the time a vessel reaches the port's boarding area when a berth is available. 7. When the available berthing space is inadequate for berthing a larger vessel having the priority to berth, the smaller vessel next in priority which can be accommodated shall be allowed to berth on condition that should additional space be made available such that the larger vessel can already be accommodated, the smaller vessel shall be moved to the anchorage to allow the larger vessel to berth. 8. The pilot manoeuvring a vessel to berth shall be advised by the Authority as to the position or berth which the vessel will occupy and the vessel shall comply with the directions or instructions therefore of the Authority and/or the pilot. 9. When a vessel scheduled to berth encounters mechanical problems thereby restraining said vessel to dock, an allowance of one hour shall be given for repairs. If after the lapse of this grace period, said vessel is still inoperative, the priority to berth shall be passed on to the vessel having the next priority to berth. 10. Vessels with berthing priority but scheduled to depart the following day shall be allowed to berth to allow passengers to disembark. Provided, however, that said vessel shall pull off the berth to give way to passenger vessel scheduled to depart on the same day. 11. Any vessel intending to berth solely for the purpose of loading fresh water, bunkering or victualling, before such vessel will be able to depart for another port, shall be given priority over other vessels, provided that such stay shall not exceed the time fixed by the Authority. 12. Government-owned vessels on official business, vessels of foreign government not engaged in foreign trade, vessels under stress, and vessels carrying perishable articles or goods shall be given berthing priority over other vessels. 13. Whenever practicable, a passenger liner or tourist vessel shall, subject to the discretion of the Port Manager/OIC, also be given priority on a limited number of hours stay at berth over a purely cargo vessel. 14. Berthing priority of any vessel shall not be waived in favour of another vessel. 15. Vessels waiting for cargoes shall be moved to anchorage to allow the next vessel to berth. However, said vessel shall be allowed to berth again, provided that cargoes for loading are ready, unless another vessel is allowed to take the berth temporarily by the Authority. 16. Domestic vessels may be allowed by the Authority to dock at berths designated for foreign vessels if there are no other vessels waiting to dock at such berths. 17. Shut-down time caused by heavy rains and other major calamities or accidents which will restrain work on a vessel shall be excluded from the time limitation prescribed herein. However, breakdown of lifting gear and also loading of fresh water, bunkering and victualling which should be done simultaneously with cargo handling operations shall not be considered as a reason for time extension.
