Vessels Coming From Seychelles Now Require Additional Security Measures, Coast Guard Says

Vessels coming from the Seychelles must take additional security measures before entering the U.S. due to "deficient anti-terrorism port measures," the Coast Guard said in a notice. The U.S. notified the country last year of the issues, but the Coast Guard subsequently found that "Seychelles failed to maintain effective anti-terrorism measures in its port facilities," it said. As a result, vessels "that visited a port in the Republic of Seychelles in its last five port calls" are required to meet additional conditions for entry, it said. Additional countries that lack effective anti-terrorism measures and are subject to the security conditions are: Cambodia, Cameroon, Comoros, Cote d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Iran, Iraq, Liberia, Libya, Madagascar, Micronesia, Nauru, Nigeria, Sao Tome and Principe, Syria, Timor-Leste, Venezuela and Yemen.
