2019年初頭以来、ダカールに寄港する船舶は、貨物不足や過積載のため、税関による罰金および拘留リスクに直面してきました。近年、ダカールの入国管理局は、乗組員の渡航記録や船員証書が正確であり、最新かつ適切に署名されていることを厳しく要求しています。これらの文書管理が適切でなかった場合、船長の刑事責任追及につながる可能性があります。
Since early 2019, vessels calling in Dakar have been at an increased risk of Customs fines and/or detention for cargo shortages or overloading. Recently, Dakar’s Immigration Services require strictly that crew travel documents and seamen books are to be accurate, up-to-date and properly signed, failing which may result in criminal charges against the Master of the vessel.
The UK Club’s Correspondents, BUDD Senegal, have prepared advice which may be downloaded below, summarising and explaining the requirements on immigration and customs controls in Senegal.
Members are recommended to be guided accordingly.
