Coast Guard raises entry conditions for ships calling Equatorial Guinea
The U.S. Coast Guard will impose enhanced security requirements conditions for vessels that have made stops at certain ports in Equatorial Guinea during their last five port calls.
The Coast Guard said the measures, effective Feb. 7, were necessary because Equatorial Guinea failed to maintain sufficient antiterrorism measures within its maritime industry.
Other non-compliant countries include Guinea-Bissau, Liberia and Mauritania. The Coast Guard recently dropped the Democratic Republic of Congo from this list.
