🔍 Key Concepts

• Free pratique in port health and quarantine procedures • The role of health authorities when a vessel arrives from another port • Difference between health clearance and other clearances (customs, immigration, port state control)

💭 Think About

• When a ship arrives in a foreign port, which authority is usually concerned with granting or refusing free pratique? • Does free pratique cover every kind of clearance (customs, immigration, port dues), or is it focused on one specific type of requirement? • Think about what risk governments are most worried about from arriving ships that could require quarantine.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice refers specifically to health / quarantine rather than money or general paperwork • Make sure the option you pick does not add extra authorities or clearances that aren’t part of the strict definition of free pratique • Eliminate any answers that talk about costs, taxes, or fees, since free pratique is not a financial term
