> [@Kennebec\_Captain](#): > > No. In the standing orders it’s 2 miles “unless otherwise instructed”. During a coastwise 2 miles sometimes is not practical so the 1 mile goes in the night orders. OK Misunderstood which cpa you wrote them up for, I couldn’t imagine you meant that. > [@Kennebec\_Captain](#): > > At Uraga Pilot station pilot boarding times are assigned 5 minutes apart, so 20 minutes late is an issue. Ok, I’ve never called in Japan so sure, obviously it is possible. Was it a big deal? Monetary penalties? Just curious. > [@Kennebec\_Captain](#): > > Not calling, is the second part of the problem. Yeah, totally agree. I’d be taking action if I didn’t get a call too. You didn’t mention it initially, so assumed that wasn’t an issue. That being said, upon receiving a call we were running a few minutes late would not lead me to write someone up. The company I work for does take safety seriously, and delays in particular are perfectly OK in the name of safety. > [@Kennebec\_Captain](#): > > But which posts here are people saying without evidence the C/M is wrong? Many of the comments are quizzing the CM’s actions in a way that suggest the correct course of action was to report to the company first, ie the CM was wrong to go to the USCG first. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.gcaptain.com/t/maersk-ordered-to-rehire-c-m-who-tipped-off-uscg/66666)._
