A vessel arrives in San Francisco from a foreign voyage. When MUST the Master make formal entry?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Formal entry requirements for vessels arriving from a foreign voyage • Difference between arrival in port vs. cargo discharge • How weekends and holidays affect legal time limits

💭 Think About

• Think about whether the law focuses on the vessel’s physical arrival, the start of cargo operations, or completion of cargo discharge. • Consider if the rule normally gives the Master more time by excluding Sundays/holidays, or if it requires action regardless of the day of the week. • Ask yourself whether formal entry is tied to a specific number of hours, or to an event like finishing discharge of foreign cargo.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check whether the time limit is 24 or 48 hours in your study materials on Customs/entry procedures. • Verify if Sundays and holidays are excluded from the counting of that time in the regulation you studied. • Confirm whether the requirement is triggered simply by arrival in port, or by completion of discharge of foreign cargo.
