Agents,

I’ve been asked to remind all agents that the BAR Pilot dispatcher needs to be updated regarding any change in a vessel’s ETA.

They report recent cases where vessels have arrived a day/hours early without any notification/update made by the agent to the dispatcher.

Please ensure pilot dispatchers are updated when vessel ETA’s have changed.

RWB

Sincerely,
“Capt Ron”
