Why tracks get rejected — and how we avoid it
The format most operators get wrong
Navigation track preparation is the requirement that most often delays first-time operators in Chilean waters — the maritime authority expects a specific format, not a generic passage plan.
Prepared and submitted correctly the first time
Our team prepares and submits tracks in the format the maritime authority expects, reducing rejections and delays before arrival.
Pilots and ladders arranged alongside
Pilot management and pilot ladders are coordinated together with the track, so your bridge team has everything it needs before arrival.
“Say the real ETA — accurate information delivered early beats optimistic information delivered late.”
Where it fits in the call
Pilotage and navigation track assistance are core to any Strait of Magellan transit, and extend to Chilean channel and fjord passages beyond the Strait, coordinated under the same port agency file as the rest of your call.
Frequently asked questions
Do you manage pilots for the Strait of Magellan?
Yes, alongside pilot management for the Chilean channels more broadly.
Can you prepare the navigation track in advance?
Yes. We prepare and submit tracks in the format the maritime authority expects, which reduces rejections and delays before arrival.
Why do navigation tracks get rejected?
Most often because the format does not match what the maritime authority expects — it is the requirement that most frequently delays first-time operators in Chilean waters.
Do you support navigation through the fjords as well as the Strait?
Yes, we support navigation tracking through the fjords and the channels, not only the Strait of Magellan.
Is this coordinated with the rest of my port call?
Yes, it is arranged under the same port agency file as pilotage, clearances and any other services your call needs.
