Which form is specifically used for the inward report of a pleasure vessel?

• A. C.2A - Inward Report - Pleasure Vessel
• B. C.2 - Report Inwards of Vessels
• C. C.4 - Vessel Passenger List
• D. C.5 - Declaration of Consumables Stores on Board the Vessel

Answer: (A)

The form used for inward reporting a pleasure vessel is specifically designed for private or recreational boats, capturing the details that matter for non-commercial arrivals. This Inward Report - Pleasure Vessel focuses on vessel identity, owner/operator, flag, home port, crew, and arrival particulars, without tying the process to cargo or passenger handling. That specialization makes it the right fit, because the general inward report for vessels covers commercial traffic and wouldn’t align with the information needs of a pleasure craft. The other forms address a vessel’s passengers, consumables on board, or a general inward report for vessels, none of which match the requirements for a pleasure vessel’s arrival.
