The Port offers guest and four-hour moorage, but no tender-only policy is published. Reserve or obtain a guest assignment.
Hours / return constraint: Main office weekdays 8:00 AM-4:30 PM; guest/fuel operations 8:00 AM-4:00 PM daily. After-hours gate procedure is not published; obtain instructions before leaving.

The prominent crow-flight mileage is a geographic comparison from Jerisich Dock, not a route distance. Road, marine, time, and fare figures here are planning ranges, not live quotes. The named dock panel uses verified landing information where available; otherwise it explicitly tells you to confirm before relying on it.
