 Majuro : Profile
Arriving yachts should call Majuro Port Control on Channel 16 and request clearance. If no answer is received, one should anchor or pick up a mooring and proceed to the government building where Customs and Immigration, in adjacent offices, will effect clearance. It is not necessary to get permission to visit in advance. Occasionally, a yacht will be directed to come alongside the commercial pier in Uliga for clearance, but that is rare and customs officials rarely board yachts.
There are no charges when checking in and one does not have to visit the harbour master on arrival, although one must do so on checking out and pay a US$90 fee. If a customs official does not visit the yacht, the captain only may go ashore to clear customs and immigration at the government offices in Delap. Those arriving at weekends can wait until Monday for immigration clearance. After clearing customs and immigration, one must visit the Port Director's office near the head of the pier in Uliga.
When clearing out, the offices have to be visited in reverse order, first the Port Director, then Immigration and Customs.
