LOGISTIC SUGGESTIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS
BRAZIL
Based on ISS Brazil experience and Brazilian regulations, here below are some important points to be
considered for Crew, Staff & cargo handling into Brazil.
1. Crew, Officers staff and Entertainers handling
12. Our Head Office in Rio de Janeiro concentrates all corporate and operational correspondences for
all Brazilian Ports and that includes all port agency requirements for passenger vessels. All
correspondence should therefore be addressed to Head Office in Rio de Janeiro.
13. Office Hours both in Rio de Janeiro and Manaus
Monday to Friday 0800h through 1730h
14. Mailing address:
ISS Marine Services Ltda
Rua Sao Bento, 09 – 4 andar
20090-010 Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
E-mail
[email protected]
Tel: +55 21 2518 5756
Fax: +55 21 2518 6778
15. Passengers Disembarking
The clearance of disembarking passengers will be done upon arrival at first Brazilian Port and then at
the airport so you will be able to deliver all passports to the guests before they depart the ship.
16. Passengers Embarking
The only requirement for embarking passengers is to have a valid tourist visa for Brazil if the nationality
requires one.
17. Passengers in Transit
All passengers entering Brazil must fill out an immigration landing card. This is to be requested by the
ship well in advance to ensure the ship pulls into the first Brazilian port with all forms filled out. The
Agent will then forward the number of cards necessary to meet the ship abroad prior to departure to
Brazil.
18. Passengers can go ashore using the vessels ID card. Immigration Authorities will require all passports to
be collected and kept by the purser’s office. VISA (for nationalities requiring such) is required for any
passengers in transit at Brazilian Ports.
19. Entertainers without temporary work visa type 5 (necessary for all citizenships) are not supposed to be
working. The application process for obtaining the temporary work visa type 5 is quite lengthy. It takes
about 5 weeks and costs around US$ 650. Entertainers must be stated on a STAFF LIST, when holding a
visa.

20. Crew Embarking – disembarking and in transit
All crew members sailing within Brazilian waters must have a valid seaman’s book and-or a valid
temporary work visa type 5 in order to comply with the Immigration Formalities in force. Those without
a seaman’s book MUST have a temporary work visa type 5. Failure in complying with this will lead to
heavy fines imposed by Immigration.
21. The Agency will provide in case of necessity an Invitation Letter that will be sent by fax to the Embassy
or Consulate. The company must request in advance this letter by sending an e-mail or fax including
all the crew’s data and flight details. These details are required for the implementation of the
appropriate formalities.
22. It is imperative that all crew embarking or disembarking are escorted by the agent to-from the airport
in order to carry out the appropriate clearance with Immigration and Customs. Ships ID card will allow
crew in transit to go ashore.
23. As soon as the Names and flights details are known, the crew operator will inform ISS who will meet
them at airport on arrival. In order to avoid delays, we need to have in hands the minimum
information, as follows:
- Complete name
- Date of birth
- Nationality
- Passport number
- Rank (position onboard)
- Flight details
- Rank of Hotel 2/3/4 start if requested
24. In case of no show at the airport, then the crew operator will advise ISS immediately in order to cancel
all the arrangements such as transport, hotel reservations, etc., otherwise charges will be applied (no
show, etc).
25. Luggage Allowance is clearly of 40kgs for seafarers flying seafarer reduced tariff. It is very common
that off signers take home a considerable number of heavy pieces of luggage. We would like to
inform you that airlines in Brazil are supposed to collect overweight charges straight from the
customer, either in cash or credit card.
26. It is very important that ISS be informed of extra or special baggage, weight, volume, etc. (i.e.
entertainment equipment), in order to arrange special transport, care in domestic and international
flights.
27. Our personnel at the airport will be duly identified, nevertheless in order to avoid any problem it is
highly recommendable to give an emergency card together with the air ticket, containing all our
phone contacts and names (attached card sample).
28. Regarding hotel services it will be important to know if the person will be authorized to make
telephone calls or require full hotel services, or just accommodation and meals.
29. Upon arrival at the airport, an Immigration landing card will be filled out and handed over to the
Immigration officer together with the passport. This is applicable to all nationalities, without exception,
for those flying under a valid passport. Crew entering the country on a seaman’s book do not require
to fill out the immigration form. The front page will be stamped and retained by the immigration

ISS Cruise Services – South America / Ports information Manual – Edition 2008
Page 212 of 286
officer. The second and last copy must be kept by the passport holder so that it is returned to the
immigration officer upon final departure from the country.
30. In the case that ISS is required to assist passengers, it will be important to know in advance the
conditions, payment responsibilities & services which ISS will be authorized to deliver them.
31. If passenger requests that ISS arrange any kind of transfer and then request to charge to vessel
account, ISS WILL BE OBLIGATED TO REQUEST SOME OFFICIAL AUTHORIZATION FM SHIP
32. The Brazilian airport administration (INFRAERO) charges US$ 36 per passenger upon boarding. Airlines
collect it from the passenger only in cash (Brazilian REAIS, American Dollars and EUROS). Credit cards
are not accepted. Prepaid Tickets Advice (PTA) only contains the airfare. The airport tax is not
included. So crew members or passengers disembarking from ships and going to the airport to collect
a PTA must be sure they have US$ 36 in cash on them to pay the airline. It is the passenger who must
pay the tax to the airline.

5) Always state on the awb as final destination the name of the Port. Example > If the ship is in Rio de
Janeiro, please state on the awb the Final destination as Rio de Janeiro. Reason being, most cargo flights
land in Sao Paulo first.
6) Do not abbreviate or codify the description of goods. Ensure full description is written on the
commercial invoices and packing lists
7) Please fax us copies of the awb and commercial invoices and packing lists prior to effecting the

Originals must be sent to us for clearance, signed and stamped by either shipper or manufacturer.
8) Allow 3 working days for clearance and delivery
9) Please ensure weight and number of pieces is accurate. Weights must preferably be in KILOS and
