Port of call means an intermediate stop for a ship on its scheduled journey for cargo operation or taking on supplies or fuel. As Per the shipping Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) regulation a “port of call” can be defined as the port of a country where cargo or a passenger (cruise) ship halts to discharge or load the cargo or to embark or disembark passengers. While the term ports are broadened and generalised to include facilities and amenities feasible to people and cargo, the meaning of port of call has an altogether different interpretation.

Ports of call are in fact a part of the sub-divisions to the generalisation made to the term ports and are used for all types of vessels. Port of call is a technical term which is used in all official shipping documents. For the cruise ship, port of call is the premier stop from where they take on passengers for their cruise holidays. Technically, cruise ports are tagged under the sub-division of sea-harbours, which also includes cargo harbours. Ports of Auckland – Credits: wikipedia.org For cargo ships, a port of call is a port attended within a voyage to load or unload the cargo, or for bunkering or repairs carried out on the ship etc. A ship to ship transfer (Cargo STS or Fuel bunker transfer etc.) which is carried within the port of call will be treated similarly to the operation carried at berth.

Port of call can include both inland harbours and marine seaports that cater to vessels transiting internationally. Further sub-dividing them, there can even be fish harbours where fishes are lugged and disseminated, cargo harbours where cargo is dispersed and a dry harbour where vessels’ maintenance and refurbishing is carried out. A marine port, tagged as a port of call, refers to a port where a ship halts so that passengers can embark and disembark appropriately or in case of cargo ships, load or unload goods. When it comes to cruise ships, ports of call are already pre-assigned in a cruise vessel’s potential itinerary and as such the vessel is required to visit these ports within the specified time-frame. Though it’s the same with cargo ships, the port of call might change as per the requirements. For a cruise passenger, when the ship will visit a different port of call as per the itinerary of the voyage, the passenger might need to pay a port access charge based on local taxes and fees. That fee is usually charged to the cruise company; however, the company typically does not include these port fees into the cruise fares and they, in turn, charge it back to the passenger.

When a vessel makes the initial customs entry into a country, the first port which it will attend will be considered as the “First Port of Call”
