Shore leave and access to ships in US ports
Overview
In cases where ships encounter extraordinary difficulties due to overly tight security measures, ships are encouraged to address the perceived problem to the local US Coast guard captain of the port, and keep their company informed. The BIMCO Security Department also appreciates being kept informed of such problems.

VPS Bunker Alerts
Veritas Petroleum Services (VPS) publish regular Bunker Alerts based entirely on fuel samples and have kindly permitted BIMCO’s Members to access this information.
The Bunker Alerts are not intended to be an evaluation of overall bunker quality in the port or area concerned, but usually highlight a specific parameter within the fuel which has raised a quality issue.
