Sign-off

Visa & Immigration Guide

Outbound immigration was quick, but do not leave the vessel without the stamped shore pass.

Airport to Seaport

Terminal to airport in about 50 minutes. Allow more at shift-change hours.

Documentation

Sign-off letter, discharge book, final wage account. Keep the shore pass until you clear the gate.

Challenges Faced

Launch boat was delayed 90 minutes by weather. Build slack into the connecting flight.

Hotel Experience

One night at a port hotel before the flight — basic but well located and quiet.

Agent Review

Agent handled the launch booking and the airport transfer without needing to be chased.

Advice for Future Crew

Do not book the cheapest late connection — a single delay ashore cascades into a missed flight.
