Vessel Clearance in Malaysia: K10, Immigration and Marine

Vessel clearance is the formal process of clearing a ship in and out of a port with customs, immigration and marine authorities. Avis Pioneer Logistics holds its own Ship Clearance Licence and handles K10 form submission, Immigration Department handling and Marine Department handling for vessels calling at Malaysian ports.

For ship owners, agents and charterers calling Malaysian ports, three sets of formalities are handled on the same call.

Two licences. One company.

Why does it matter that one company holds both licences?

Few Malaysian forwarders hold a Ship Clearance Licence alongside a Forwarding Licence. Avis Pioneer Logistics holds both, which means cargo clearance and vessel formalities can be coordinated by the same company on the same call. Cargo declarations are covered on customs clearance.
