Confirmation of P&I Entry - Australia

The Australian Customs Service (ACS) are now insisting upon sighting a confirmation of ships' P&I entry prior to granting them permission to sail from any Australian port.

Ships have been delayed until the P&I Club in question has provided a fax confirmation. ACS has stated that they will accept fax copies of the confirmation until 20th April 2004, after which ships should be able to produce an original Certificate of Entry.
