【Port】 PORT OF SANTOS, Brazil// FINES FOR ANCHORING OUTSIDE DESIGNATED AREAS

Since early this year, the Port Captaincy in the Port of Santos has been actively monitoring vessels that anchor outside the anchorage areas indicated in the charts published by the Brazilian Navy’s Directorate of Hydrography and Navigation (DHN). Vessel movement is assessed using an AIS system or through boat surveillance.

Shipmasters caught in breach of the regulation were fined, ranging from BRL 80 to BRL 3,200.

We recommend Masters to check your anchorage area via local agent and/or charts before dropping anchor at these ports.
