Verbal Declaration
A verbal declaration is the oral submission of essential vessel and operational information by the ship agent or master to port authorities before formal written documentation. It is usually the first step of the formal process, not the final one.
Best Used When
Best used when the vessel is approaching port, operations need to move before the paperwork is ready, the port is busy, or an immediate notice is needed to secure the operational window.
