West of England P&I Club news alert
The West of England P&I Club has issued news alert concerning vessels calling at Lebanese ports due to the boycott regulations that prohibit/restrict free trade with Israel and Israeli interests.
Under these boycott regulations, vessels who call at Israeli ports are at risk of being blacklisted and prohibited from entry to Arab ports.
In Lebanon, blacklisted vessels are usually detained and fined.
The West of England P&I Club advises its Members trading with Lebanese ports to obtain a written certificate from the Arab Boycott Bureau of Israel’s Beirut Office confirming that the vessel is not blacklisted.
This requirement has now become compulsory and it is important for Members to obtain said certificate in advance of the vessel’s call to Lebanon to enable them to take whatever pre-emptive measure is necessary in case the vessel is blacklisted.
