Members should report their schedules (to local port agents) prior to arrival at any Libyan port, including a declaration of the vessel’s sailing route, whether they are loading or discharging cargo and the type of cargo on board, so that the agents can notify the appropriate authorities.


Vessels should avoid navigating in the coastal waters of Benghazi, Derna and Sirte.
