Besides these national regulations, the Moerdijk Port Authority Port Regulations, the ’house rules of the Port’, are applicable and there may be Notifications to Shipping (BAS) issued.
By means of permits and exemptions, the Harbour Master can issue exemptions with which, under certain conditions, it is possible is to deviate from the regulations.
