NOTES FOR VISITING YACHTSMEN

Welcome to the Royal Selangor Yacht Club (RSYC). We hope you will enjoy your visit to Port Klang, and invite you to be guests of the club for the period of your stay. May we remind you that RSYC is a private members club, with rules and traditions developed over 30 years, and we ask you to respect these and comply with instructions issued by the Committee and Management of the Club.

Arrival
If you have given us prior notice of your arrival, a berth will already have been allocated, and a member of our boatyard staff will direct you to your mooring. The pontoons connected to the club house are for boats taking fuel, water, stores and those undergoing repair which cannot be undertaken effectively elsewhere. Space is limited, and we request that you do not remain alongside for more than 2 hours. After berthing, you will be directed to the administration Office in the Club House, which is open from 9.00am – 5.00pm on Monday – Friday & 8.00am – 4.00pm on Weekends & Public Holidays.

Registration
The General Manager or his designated staff member will assist you to complete the Club Registration form and disclaimer, issue you with a copy of these notes, together with a guest card for each member of your crew, and answer questions you may have about the club and the Port Klang area.

Port Clearence Formalities
Visiting boats which are making their first point of landing in Malaysia at Port Klang are required to complete their inbound clearance on the day of your arrival. You will find a Port Arrival Health Notification form attached to these notes, which is to be completed and presented to the Marine Department (JABATAN LAUT) at the old mariners club building, Jalan Kelab, behind the post office in Port Klang. The crew list and passports are then taken to the Immigration Office, which is at the Pulau Ketam Ferry Terminal, just past the KTM Railway Station, for stamping in. You must also clear Customs formalities at the same location. May we take this opportunity to remind visitors that unlawful possession of firearms and illegal drugs are capital offences in Malaysia. Visitors departing Malaysia when they sail from Port Klang are also required to clear themselves out with the relevant departments prior to their departure.

Local Information
If you require any further assistance or information, the Club staff will be pleased to provide it. The free wireless internet (RSYC1) in the Club house may be accessed without passwords or special settings.

The Club offers a restaurant serving Oriental and Western food, and a full service bar. The restaurant is open daily from 10.00 – 22.00. The bar is open daily from 10.00 – 23.59 for the sale of hot and cold beverages. There are extensions to the service hours on weekends and public holidays. Visitors are requested to pay for their food and beverages in local Malaysian currency at the bar at the time of purchase.

Engineering and hull repairs can be arranged through the Yard Manager’s Office, and a 20 ton slipway cradle is operated for Members boats by prior arrangement. If emergency hull work is required, the Yard Manager will assist in arranging slipping either at the Club or at nearby commercial or government facilities. Diesel fuel is available for cash purchase at the club pontoon upon request to the yard staff. Petrol and lubricants may be purchased from numerous road service stations in Port Klang. Water is available from hoses at the pontoon. It is requested that water is not wasted, and taps secured after use. A complimentary water taxi (JINGGO) service is operated hourly by the yard staff between the club pontoon and offshore berths.

Security
The club premises are guarded round the clock by club security staff, who also visit the pontoons and mooring areas at night. However, visitors are reminded that it is their responsibility to secure their boats and possessions at all times. The Club will accept no responsibility for loss or damage to private property on Club premises or moorings. Visitors unfamiliar with Port Klang are warned that strong currents flow in the river, especially during spring tides, bringing with them much unwanted flotsam.
