When the vessel is in a port other than San Diego, and not "hosted" at the dock of another oceanographic institution, an agent is retained to provide logistic support and will receive and hold mail for participants. The agent's services encompass port formalities, arranging for fuel and provisions, handling official shipments to and from the ship, and assisting persons joining and leaving the ship, including procurement of tickets and reservations when required. All communications with the ship's agent are coordinated by the captain, although the resident technician customarily makes arrangements and acquires needed supplies for the scientific party. At the end of each port stop, SIO is billed for the agent's services. While agents are normally very friendly and helpful, all individuals in the scientific party should recognize that every action by the agent results in a charge, and that they or their research grants will be charged for the cost of services that they request (or accept). Receipts for items obtained by the agent should be marked with the name and affiliation of the person authorizing the services or purchases, and an identifying budget number or name, to reduce the post-cruise time spent tracking down the account to be charged.
