2. Where an abnormal length of internal wiring is required between a ship and the dockside;

If the customer requires Openreach to connect a ship to the dockside distribution point or pre-wired jack to the exchange, then a Visit Charge applies together with any charges for internal wiring and telephone equipment. If wiring to the dockside distribution point does not exist then normal charges apply for the provision of service.
