All vessels, or their owners or agents, desiring berths must obtain a pier loading permit if deemed required by the QDC. The permit is not valid until it is authorized and executed by the QDC. Procedures for obtaining a Pier Loading Permit are located on the port website, www.portofdavisville.com.
The QDC is authorized to enter upon and inspect any vessel and its cargo in berth or at anchor in the harbor, to ascertain the kind and quantity of merchandise of cargo on the vessel, or to identify or address safety issues. No person or persons shall hinder, molest, or refuse entrance upon such vessel for the purpose specified.
