Field Staff Updates
Post-Visit Report
The Vessel Post Visit Report (PVR) is a form that should be filled out during or after each voyage by an authorized person (e.g Captain, or Expedition Leader). It must be submitted no later than two weeks after the completion of a voyage.
The PVR should be submitted to the appropriate national authority and to IAATO. Fill out the form online via the IAATO database – or you can download a copy below (excel spreadsheet) and upload manually to the database.
