All ships are replenished while in port and receive stores at sea by highline or aircraft. Receiving stores at sea is refined to as underway replenishment (UNREP) and vertical replenishment (VERTREP). Procedures for replenishment and receiving stems during these operations are covered in detail by individual instructions issued by each ship. For additional information concerning specific files and receiving procedures, refer to Automated SNAP I Supply Procedures, Volume 1, Logistics and Inventory Management, NAVSUP P-567, and Afloat Supply Procedures, NAVSUP P-485. In-port Replenishment Replenishment of stores while in port requires advanced planning, coordination, and scheduling with the shipping activity. This planning should ensure that stores are received during normal working hours and well in advance of anticipated ship movements. The senior AK frequently becomes involved in the schedul- ing, coordination, and planning for receipts while in port. Arrangements should be made for working party assistance, if needed, transportation with the material department of the supporting supply activity, and materials-handling equipment from the supporting station. The various planning factors affecting in-port replenishment (INREP) are shown in figure 3-2. Figure 3-2.-Factors in planning in-port replenishment. 3-13
