I would like to ask something that I saw in DNV webpage:
QUESTION: Is a port stay for bunkering considered a port call for EU-MRV?
ANSWER: No, only ports where cargo is loaded or unloaded or where passengers embark or disembark are considered ports of call. Consequently, stops for the sole purpose of refuelling, obtaining supplies, relieving the crew, going into dry dock or making repairs to the ship and/or its equipment, as well as stops in port because the ship is in need of assistance or in distress, stops for ship-to-ship transfers carried out outside ports and stops for the sole purpose of taking shelter from adverse weather or rendered necessary by search and rescue activities are excluded.

So with the above, only ship-to-ship transfers inside the port limits are considered “port of call”, right?
