As a result of the political unrest throughout the country, especially in the light of the announced arrival of humanitarian aid on 23rd February 2019, the Executive has taken measures to close maritime borders which imply restrictions for maritime traffic being enforced by the local Harbour Masters.
Members are strongly advised to monitor through their agents/correspondents local developments, in order to properly assess operational and security issues.

GLOBALPANDI Circular for P&I CLUBS - 210219 (108 KB)
The UK Club have received the attached circular from local correspondents Huatai, regarding vessels making contact with fishing nets in Ningde waters in China.
We have been working with over 200 members of our correspondents network to produce a comprehensive document that outlines challenges and changes for crew changes in ports.
We would like to draw Members’ attention to the attached Circular PNI1902 - Measures for Supervision and Management of Ship Ballast Water and Sediment.
During the initial stages of the voyage, the vessel encountered heavy weather, with spray and seas shipped on deck and all hatch covers over a period of 8 days; this video explores how this affected the maize cargo.
