Visiting ports and ships
How can I visit a port?Unfortunately, ports are discouraging visitors at present
(2003). Concerns about terrorism have made them very security
conscious. Although many people with legitimate business have
access, the issuing of permits for visits is ceasing at many ports.
It is still worth approaching the port authority for permission to
visit, but be aware that this may be refused. How can I visit a ship?To request a visit, contact the shipowner or his agent in the
port. Shipowners' addresses will be found in the up-to-date edition
of Lloyd's Register’s List
of Shipowners. For agents, look in the local Yellow
Pages™. Remember that ships are often in port for very short
periods, and in some cases it might not be possible to predict when
the ship will arrive or sail until a few days beforehand.
