We are pleased to report that the Abidjan Port Authority has issued a circular on 18.02.14 cancelling their December 2012 decision to prevent any stowaway disembarking and ban all stowaway repatriations from the port of Abidjan.

Shipowners and their P&I Clubs are therefore hereby advised that, as of now, they can restart considering Abidjan as one of their most viable options for repatriation of stowaways in West Africa.

Please do not hesistate to contact us for more details on stowaway disembarking in Ivory Coast.

Yours sincerely
IVORY P&I
