Receiving Packages while on board

[palladian]

How would someone send a package to person on board? Would you just send it to the person care of the port agent? Thanks for any info.

Yes, you can send it via a port agent however you do need to be careful how you address since Agents often handle multiple vessels and multiple lines.

Would suggest you address as follows:-

 

Mr/Mrs. XXXX XXXXX

(Voyage XXXX / Suite XXX)

M/V Silver XXXXXX

c/o XXXX & Co.

 

Would suggest that any packages be sent to arrive at least 48 hours prior to the ship's arrival in the specific port. Don't try to time the delivery for the day of the ships arrival since the Boarding Agent will probably go straight from home for the ships arrival with the bag of mail.

 

Hope this helps.
