Kuala Belait - Clearance
Prior to entry, when off the breakwaters at Kuala Belait call Belait Port Control on VHF Channel 15 and request entry. At the same time ask the Port Official about available depth over the bar.
If arriving out of hours you can anchor in the South West corner of the quarantine anchorage. Keep a sharp lookout for Oil Industry Support vessels and the car ferry returning to Port here as dusk approaches. Note that the flare, which helps mark the entrance, and is mentioned in the pilot book, may not currently be lit.
Once anchored or moored you can take the dinghy to the Kuala Belait Boat Club and walk into town.
All the necessary offices are in the large multi-storey building on the waterfront (Marine Services Building). Go left on the ground floor for Port Clearance and you will be directed from there.
When checking in ask for your departure paperwork to fill out ahead of time. When checking out with Customs and Immigration you will need to return to the Marine Department and the Port Department to deliver copies of your clearance papers. Also, Customs will want a Cargo Manifest which can just say “nil”.
The staff are friendly and helpful.
