近日，UK P& I 连发两篇关于西非多哥洛美港的罚款警告。三起事件都是小小的事件，引起巨额罚款！甚至一瓶矿泉水引起上亿欧元的罚款！罚款的标准竟然包括船舶价值的两倍！！
UK P&I 协会希望会员们关注BUDD Group关于Togo的最新建议。
挂靠洛美港的船只应注意：与当地人，特别是渔民交换物品可能面临最高1.3亿欧元 的罚款和3 个月至 1 年的监禁。（编者注：洛美港Lomé ，西非国家多哥Togo的首都和最大港口，也是非洲第四大港口。位于几内亚湾，西边是加纳、科特迪瓦，东边是贝宁、尼日利亚）
据UK P&I 消息，三宗案件中，都是洛美锚泊的船只应渔民的要求，给予他们少量低值物品，例如一桶污泥、一瓶瓶装水或小废料，换取海鲜或电话卡。在每起案件中，都是渔民返回洛美港时被逮捕，并在船只被扣留之前向警方陈述了事实。
海关禁止这些船只出航，并告诉这些船只，它们将被处以6000万至1.3亿欧元的罚款，理由是它们的非正式交易构成走私。
在迄今为止的所有案件中，海关拒绝就罚款讨价还价。除非罚款要求文件 ("Procès Verbal de Constat" or "PV")由具有正式授权代表船舶的一方签署，或允许签署人添加标准免责声明，如“无偏见”"Without Prejudice"或“仅用于接收”"For Receipt Only"。
有一次使用了免责声明，是在与海关进行了数周的讨论之后（编者注：数周的相关费用，也是不菲啊！）。在此期间，该船仍被扣留，关于罚款数额的谈判无法开始。
为何罚款金额如此高？
这里走私罚款如此之高，原因是它们是根据以下标准计算的：
交换物品的价值。
再加上所有涉案船只估计价值的两倍。
3.再加上 28 %至 49 %的关税 ， 包括交换的物品以及多哥海关法相关条款。
协会建议避免以物易物，即使是在锚地。你永远不知道谁在监视你。如果您的船只在海关遇到困难，请立即联系您的保赔代理人。
