Port Rulings:
1. Daily Program for berthing of ships
The latest hour that the Port Manager (Harbour Master and Senior Pilot) shall keep open
the Berthing Program is 1300 hours of the previous day.
For Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays the berthing program will close at noon.
This means that any ship on the berthing program by 1300 hours that may call the following
day in time on turn to enter the harbour shall have precedence over any other ship that
may have arrived unannounced after 1300 hours of the previous day.
Vessels declared as arriving "morning" or "any time" will not be
considered for berthing purposes.
2. Definition of an announced vessel
An announced vessel is the vessel declared by the Agent latest 1300 hours on Weekdays and
by 1200 hours on Saturdays, Sundays and Official Holidays of the previous day of arrival,
and that the vessel is definitely due the following day, and the Agent makes advance
arrangements to engage stevedores.
3. Definition of an non-announced vessel
A non-announced vessel is the vessel which arrived without the Agent having declared its
impending arrival the day before and at the time indicated above.
In the case of an "announced vessel" this will have precedence over the
"non-announced vessel".
4. Berthing of announced vessels
Announced vessels shall be berthed, if berths available, strictly in the order of arrival
(anchored within a radius of ½ mile from Flashing Buoy).
Notwithstanding the above, Shipping Agents may arrange their own order of entry for ships
waiting berth, belonging to or Chartered by same owners, which have the same L.O.A., if
the Port Manager (Harbour Master and Senior Pilot) is satisfied that this shall not
interfere in any way with the berthing of ships belonging to others on the program or on
turn by order of arrival.
Provided that whenever a vessel which has anchored at the flashing buoy first and gives
her berthing turn to a vessel which has anchored later the first vessel will not lose her
berthing turn i.e. if vessel No. 1 gives her berthing turn to vessel No. 4 then vessel
No.1 becomes No. 4.
5. Vessels alongside the Quay of Jetty.
Every vessel alongside the quay or jetty in any Port should work the cargo to the
satisfaction of the Port Manager (Harbour Master and Senior Pilot). In this connection,
whenever any vessel is waiting to berth alongside the quay or jetty the Port Manager may
require any other vessel to vacate the berth for such period as he may determine if the
rate of work is not maintained as it is the practice of the Port.
6. Vessels to be berthed
Before a vessel is berthed the Agent must satisfy the Port Manager that the cargo to be
loaded is ready.
Any vessel not occupying a berth, or a vessel which has been unberthed, caused by this
circumstance should take the last turn of berth.
Containers and RoRo vessels must berth and work if there is available SEAPACE
before 1630 hours on weekdays or 1000 hours on Sunday and Official Holidays.
7. Immediate unberthing of vessels complete operations
Vessels which complete operations must vacate their berth latest one and half hour after
completion of operation and this in order to enable the crew to lower derricks and for
completion of the necessary documents.
8. Signing of applications for overtime
The usual application for overtime work should be signed by the Principal of the Shipping
Office unless one of his Shipping Clerks, is authorised in writing, to sign such
applications.
Whenever the port is congested the vessels; Agent must notify the meeting pilot or duty
pilot that she will register her turn after which she may proceed to either a Cypriot or a
foreign port.
To achieve registration the Master must drop anchor at a Cypriot port roadstead and
contact the pilot station either through Cypriot Radio of by VHF channel. He must receive
confirmation of registration from the duty pilot after which he may proceed to the next
port.
Registration of turn can be achieved from 0600 to 2300 hours.
To achieve registration cargo plans must be presented before ship's arrival the Port
Manager that the vessel is able to start work immediately.
Priorities for Quay Berth:
Priority berthing of vessels at the Ports of Limassol and Larnaca.
If the available SEAPACE is less than the total length of all the vessels entitled
to priority, then for berthing purposes their order of arrival is taken into
consideration.
Customs regulations regarding duty on imported goods:
We append here below, for your guidance, section 30 (2) of the Customs & Excise Law
regarding duty on imported goods:
"30 (2) : If any dutiable goods which are included in the report of any aircraft of
vessel shall not be accounted for to the satisfaction of the Collector, the master or
owner of the aircraft of vessel of the agent thereof shall on demand by the Collector, at
the rate in force when such goods were reported."
