美国港口风险提示:船舶恐因船员私自下地而面临处罚

来源:The Skuld P&I Club

 

根据新奥尔良律所Murphy, Rogers & Sloss消息,美国海关及边境巡逻队(CBP)于本月初向新奥尔良港口社区发出提醒,抵港船舶船员需在船舶经CBP清关后方可下地就医或返回国内。

 

根据联邦8 C.F.R. § 252.1法案规定,入境美国的船舶的船长或代理需确保船上所有雇员在船舶获得CBP官员认可或允许之前不得下地(入境)。

 

如果抵美船舶的船长未能确保船员在船舶接受CBP检查之前保持在船状态,则船舶可能面临罚款。具体罚款金额还没有相应的详细规定。

 

协会提醒会员注意上述规定,建议会员与当地通代紧密协调,确保遵守相关程序以及入境要求。

USA: Potential fines for crew onshore

 

Attorneys Murphy, Rogers & Sloss in New Orleans have advised that, earlier this month, the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) has issued reminders to the New Orleans port community that crewmembers may not be sent ashore for medical appointments or repatriation before the arriving vessel is cleared by CBP.

 

Per 8 C.F.R. § 252.1, all persons employed in any capacity on board any vessel arriving in the United States shall be detained on board the vessel by the master or agent of such vessel until admitted or otherwise permitted to land by a CBP Officer.

 

Failure of the master to detain crewmen onboard a vessel arriving in the United States until inspection may result in a monetary penalty. The amount of such fines have not been specified.

 

Members should take notice of this requirement and coordinate closely with local agents to ensure that proper procedures and immigration regulations are being followed.
