IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL SAILORS & YACHT CLUBS
All yachts, both local South African and foreign registered, arriving in South Africa from offshore (i.e. from other countries) are legally required by the Department of Transport (DoT) to complete a Pre-Arrival Authorisation Notification (PAN) prior to entering South African waters. This is a mandatory requirement from the Department of Transport.

OSASA administers the process on behalf of the Dept. of Transport.
Failure to comply may lead to entry refusal or penalties.
Please share this requirement widely with all skippers, clubs, and sailing groups.
