Hi...

I would need more information regarding how big your vessel is (will you need a pilot?), whether the port is domestic or foreign (customs?), whether you are carrying cargo or not, how deep your draft is, etc.

A large commercial vessel should have the details handled by the shipping company's representative.

A small, private vessel will start by raising the harbormaster of the port or marina on the radio, identifying yourself & inquiring about berth availability. It can be an informal process, and the harbormaster can give you additional information about tides, currents, shoals, and other things not indicated on your chart. If the conditions are difficult (chop, wind, visibility), the harbormaster may help with providing hands to take your ropes when you dock.

If you can time your arrival for high slack water, you should. There may be snags, shifting shoals, or a recent sinking that doesn't show up on your chart. Additionally, you're better off crossing a bar when it's at its calmest... especially if water or weather conditions are tricky.

If you're planning on docking in a large metropolitan area with a lot of ship traffic, you may need to coordinate with the local marine traffic service.

Your best friends are a set of current charts, a current copy of the Coast Pilot, good up-to-the-minute weather info, and the Coast Guard (don't waste their time, but don't be afraid to use them! They're there to help!).

I hope this helps...

How can i update dell dock?

A docking station is an extension or addition of ports for a laptop computer. Once the portable computer is docked, you can access the docking station's ports, such as PS/2 or USB 2.0 ports, through your computer. Some docking stations have monitors that you can connect your computer to, placing your video on an external screen so you can turn off your computer's monitor and conserve some of your computer's energy. All Dell docking stations will have the same general troubleshooting steps.

Plug your laptop's power adapter into the docking station and dock your laptop onto/into the docking station. If there is no power going to your laptop from the docking station but it works when the power adapter is plugged into the wall, the docking station is bad and needs to be replaced. Plug your power adapter into the docking station and dock your laptop onto/into the docking station. If power goes on but your computer doesn't recognizes accessories such as a USB mouse--plugged into the docking station, try a different port on the station. If it works in a different port, the previous USB port is burned out. Plug your power adapter into the docking station and dock your laptop onto/into the docking station. If power is going through the docking station but no accessories are being recognized, you might have a corrupted docking profile. Undock the computer and dock it again once it has fully started up to reset the docking profile. Plug your power adapter into the docking station and dock your laptop onto/into the docking station. If you have an external monitor and it is not working, completely close the lid on the laptop so the image will move to the external monitor. Plug your power adapter into the docking station and dock your laptop onto/into the docking station. If power is going through the docking station but no accessories are being recognized and resetting the docking profile fails, update all drivers through Dell's support website and then re-dock the computer. Some of the software that runs the hardware may have become corrupted. Hope this helps

My Dell Latitude XP laptop got knocked to the floor. It fell on the side where usb port was connected to printer. Usb port pins are now bent and port is unusable. Dell said I have to replace...

No, it's not the only way, if you have an unused PCMCIA port in your notebook. The width of the PCMCIA port is about the height of a credit-card, and the height of that port is about the thickness of a few credit-cards.

Purchase a PCMCIA adapter that has two or three USB ports.
Insert the PCMCIA adapter into the slot,
and connect your USB device to one of the USB ports.

I want to know the meaning of ''CFR price under hook''

CFR (Cost and Freight) is a term in international trade that refers to the cost of the goods and the freight charges needed to transport them to a specified port of destination.
"Price under hook" refers to the price of the goods when they are loaded on the shipping vessel at the port of origin. In other words, it means the price of the goods without including any additional charges such as loading, unloading, or handling costs at the port of origin.
So "CFR price under hook" means the cost of the goods and freight charges, but only up to the point when the goods are loaded on the shipping vessel at the port of origin, not including any additional charges at the port of origin.
This term is commonly used in bulk consignment, where the goods are loaded on the shipping vessel in large quantities, and the exporter wants to specify the price of the goods without including any additional costs that may occur at the port of origin.

Network and video ports not working

Problem with the motherboard, it wouldn't affect those ports on the motherboard when its docked because your using the ports on the docking station instead of the motherboard. You could always go into the BIOS and reset them to defaults just to make sure but honestly it sounds like an issue with the motherboard.
