The Club would like to draw Members' attention to the latest breaking news from our listed correspondent Venepandi C.A. relating to the new protocol to crew changes on all Venezuelan ports.

According to the Venezuelan port authorities, as of 10th February, a protocol for crew changes will be implemented in all Venezuelan ports.
