Disembarkation of stowaways Off Port Limits (OPL)

Kindly note that Banjul Authorities now accept to disembark stowaways OPL. Disembarkation could only take place inside the port before. However, with the disembarkation OPL, Immigration and Health Authorities request “risk allowances” which amounts to EUR 860 per trip for the former and EUR 500 for the latter.

As for launch hiring costs they amount to EUR 1 750. Moreover, the necessity for Owners to appoint a ship agent is maintained. These additional costs are requested for any landing of stowaways OPL Banjul port.
