Lifting vessel seizures and dealing with customs fines

Arresting vessels costs money for the owner. Our goal at Clinton Consultancy is to do everything we can to lift the arrest as quickly as feasible throughout Africa.

Cargo insurers typically arrest vessels to secure their claims. According to previous experience, this normally occurs on a Friday afternoon, with the intention of stressing the Owners and the P&I Club.

We have extensive expertise lifting vessel arrests. Our team understands the importance of time and will do all possible to release the ship without delay.

Once the parties involved have been identified, our goal will be to persuade claimants to accept a Club Letter of Guarantee rather than a Bank Guarantee. Then we will discuss the amount and terms of the LOG.

Most cargo insurance and recovery agents are situated in Europe. Our French team, in close communication with our local team, will smooth the talks with all parties involved and ensure that the Owners receive the best price possible. In Africa, such delicate issues can easily spiral out of control and become prohibitively expensive for all parties involved. Our extensive experience dealing with such matters will help owners and clubs save time and money.

Our local expertise proves to be a great resource.

Another common example is customs fines. All countries’ customs authorities will strictly enforce the law because this is an easy method to get money. Masters are fully aware of this. We will assist in negotiations with the customs authority, oppose excessive fines, and minimize the others.

Our team understands the importance of time and will do all possible to release the ship without delay.
