SHANNON ESTUARY
PART II | 3. ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE CHECKLISTS
3.1 GENERAL
Prior to arrival, and in all cases except as specifically mentioned below, all ships must give at least 24
hours notice of ETA before the ship passes the seaward limit of the port.
The only cases where less than 24 hours notice is acceptable is when the port of departure is less than 24
hours and where due to an emergency on board the ship, or other stressful situation, the required
minimum notice is not possible. In these cases notice of ETA must be given as soon as practically
possible.
3.2 ARRIVAL CHECKLISTS
Notice must be given by completing in full, as applicable to each type of ship, the current PRE ARRIVAL
FORM as found on Department of Transport Safe Seas Ireland Website. www.safeseas.ie
The Pre Arrival Form is designed so that all the statutory information is collated on one sheet. Receipt of
an incorrect or incomplete pre arrival form will result in unnecessary delays to the ship.
3.3 DEPARTURE CHECKLISTS
Departure information is completed by ships agent on Safe Seas Ireland website. Port Company must be
informed of intended sailing in sufficient time so that arrangements may be made to deploy pilots, tugs
and linesmen as required.
