FAL Compliance
Prepare crew, guest, stores and effects declarations for port clearance.
Overview
Port Clearance brings together the information and documents needed for arrival and departure formalities. Each FAL form covers a different subject.
- Confirm the receiving port's requirements with the agent or authority.
- Check vessel particulars and voyage information before exporting.
Who Can Use It
FAL 5
FAL 5 — Crew List
Open the crew-list tools
Start in Port Clearance and open the FAL 5 crew-list panel.
Check the people included
Review the selected crew against the actual movement. Contractors are never included as crew.
Check identity and voyage details
Confirm names, ranks, nationality, document details and port/date information.
Review the export
Preview the document and check every page before submitting it.
- Crew exports use rank ordering with the Captain first; travel-pack crew PDFs use the same order.
- Rank ordering changes presentation, not which crew are selected.

- Review guest identity details and travel-document information.
- Confirm the selected trip or guest selection fits the clearance.
- Keep guests separate from crew and contractors.
FAL 3
FAL 3 — Ship's Stores
- Describes the vessel's stores, not personal possessions.
- Check quantities, units and descriptions against current records.
FAL 4
FAL 4 — Crew Effects
- Covers personal possessions and declarable items belonging to crew.
- Check declarations for alcohol, tobacco, cash, medication and controlled items — thresholds vary locally.
