Notices and clearance
Notice of arrival
The Mauritius Ports Authority protocol asks for a notice of arrival to the Director of Shipping at least 48 hours before arrival, through the Port State Notification System. The agent sends a notice to the Port Master not later than 24 hours before arrival.
Agent
A pleasure craft of more than 100 GT may appoint an agent. A craft under 100 GT may be exempt. The Revenue Authority says an agent is not mandatory by law.
Health
A Maritime Declaration of Health is needed for free pratique. Masters stay on board until health clearance at the Customs Landing Steps.
Length of stay
A foreign yacht may stay 3 months from arrival. Beyond that, security by bank guarantee or office cheque is needed under Regulation 26 of the Customs Regulations.
Reunion
The White Grub Protocol runs from 1 November to 15 January. Authorisation is needed for vessels arriving from or going to Reunion.
Departure
A yacht leaving for a foreign port calls back to Port Louis Harbour for departure formalities, which go through the Vessel Clearance System.
