Under Tariff No. 23A only licensed steamship agents may apply for berthing space. The arrival, transits and departure of all vessels are subject to the requirements and restrictions of the Palm Beach Harbor Pilots Association.
Any agent desiring a berth at the Port Facilities shall as far in advance as possible, but not less than 72 hours prior to the time of docking, make application to the Harbormaster for a berth assignment.
Agent must provide a firm 24-hour estimated time of arrival for all vessels allowed to enter the Port.
