Can advise PAX SILVA has been further delayed and is now due to depart at 13:30 Hrs
tomorrow due to fatigue management issues with Port of Portland staff.
On this basis Pilot will now board your vessel at 14:00 Hrs tomorrow and expect you
will berth around 15:30 Hrs.
Due to this delay in berthing I have now requested quarantine survey on arrival at
15:30 Hrs, will confirm survey time this afternoon as soon as quarantine confirm
our booking request.
** Also please note below from duty Pilot due to bad weather expected tomorrow, please
ensure you comply with this request in order to avoid possible further delay in berthing**

I have requested the master of m.v.Alizay-2 to reduce his trim from 3.2m (Draft F-4.8m A8.0m)
to 2.5 so that the forward freeboard is reduced and the vessel can be manoeuvred safely and
efficiently in expected strong wind and swell tomorrow. Please advise the master that he should
have full sea going ballast to keep his vessel stable and manoeuvrable.
