Vacating a Berth

Vacating a Berth is the process of a vessel leaving its designated berth or dock at a port, making way for another ship to occupy that space. This operation involves a series of coordinated tasks and procedures to ensure the safe departure of the vessel and the efficient use of the berthing facilities. 

Berth allocation is a crucial aspect of port scheduling, and efficient vacating of berths ensures that port operations remain smooth, and vessels are not delayed. Throughout the process, clear and constant communication between the ship’s crew, tugboat operators, pilots, and port control is essential to ensure a safe and coordinated departure.
