Cancellation policy

The following terms and conditions apply to all Port Skills and Safety Limited (PSS) bookings. Any cancellations must be notified, in writing to the accounts team at [email protected] and admin team [email protected].

Membership fees

Quotes for renewal of membership for the following year are issued in December. Members wishing to cancel their membership for the upcoming year must send written notification before the end of the current subscription year. Failure to do so will result in a three-month termination fee, calculated based on the membership renewal quote for the upcoming period.
