A Notice to Mariners and NABSO has been issued NTM P3-25 and NABSO2-25 – Changes to the Port Control Centre (PCC) Duty Port Controller Contact Details On 12th February 2025, the PLA’s Port Control Centre (PCC) will adopt new ways of working as part of the multi-year Marine Centre Transformation Programme. As part of the change, the PLA will be separating the current Duty Port Controller (DPC) role into two discrete functions – ‘Watch Manager’ for supervision of the VTS function and a ‘Head of Port Coordination’ (HPC) for oversight of the pilotage planning function. This NABSO is to explain the change of communications for those that currently liaise with the DPC role.
