At the same time, the attention of all maritime personnel is drawn to the prevalence of the use of seafarers in drug smuggling or contraband.
The Company would like to warn all maritime personnel of the dangers and consequences of any involvement in drug smuggling or contraband.
Smuggling procedure.
You may be contacted by people ashore to smuggle drugs or contraband. The amounts of money are usually huge, your reward is comparatively tiny, but you won't encounter such smugglers if you say "NO" and think about yourself and your family first.
If you say YES, you and your family could be harmed in at least three ways:
First of all, you might get caught. The company will not help you with bail or legal assistance. If you get caught, you must find and pay for bail and a lawyer.
You will lose your job even if the case is dropped.
Secondly, in many countries, if you are tried and convicted, you can be sentenced to death or, at best, imprisoned for many years. Once you are released from prison, you will be deported and may be tried again in your home country.• Third, you will die. People who ask you to smuggle do not pay you thousands of dollars just to go out of their way to smuggle drugs or contraband. You unknowingly guarantee
absolutely that every drug or contraband, every gram, will be delivered.
You guarantee this with your life and sometimes with the lives of your parents, wife and children. If you lose any drugs or contraband, if someone steals them, if customs discover them, you will die violently (looking for a seaman job).
Don't settle for drug smuggling or contraband. It won't hurt you if you say NO to smugglers. Any other answer will bring disaster to you and your family.
