MASTER-SAAO robotic telescope  (Global MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru, Lipunov et al., 2010, Advances in Astronomy, vol. 2010, 30L)  located in South Africa (South African Astronomical Observatory) was pointed to the Swift GRB210318.13 (trigger No 1037335,17h 36m 55.88s , -35d 49m 19.2s, R=0.01) errorbox 65903 sec after trigger time at 2021-03-18 21:26:56 UT, with upper limit up to  17.3 mag. The observations began at zenith distance = 83 deg. The sun  altitude  is -52.2 deg. 

The galactic latitude b = -3 deg., longitude l = 354 deg.
