At Yasmine Hammamet seaport, all necessary territory entrance and exit procedures are possible. Customs, National Guard, Borders Police and Merchant Marine services are all available at the port Harbormaster’s office.
[1] In addition to Yasmine Hammamet seaport, the following seaports are found in Tunisia: Tabarka, Bizerte, Sidi Bou Saïd, La Goulette, Kelibia, El Kantaoui, Sousse, Monastir, Mahdia, Gabes, Houmt-Souk et Zarziz.
Except for emergency situations, all yachts arriving by sea from abroad must dock a port harboring a customs and immigration office [1], in order to go through usual procedures.
While entering a Tunisian port, all foreign ships should display in evidence their own nationality flag as well as the Tunisian flag.
At entrance, the ship’s owner or user must present himself at the authorities office to make his formal declaration of entry.
Once entrance procedures are completed, the customs office delivers to the boat a free navigation license, showing the period of validity. The license gives authorization to the boat to navigate on Tunisian territorial waters, and exempts it from any other customs formalities until the next exit for a foreign destination.
In case of immobilization of the boat in the seaport, duly recorded by the customs services, the period of immobilization (as for winter parking) is deducted from the navigation period. The unrestricted circulation license is valid for a period of 6 months per annum, and may be renewed at the holder’s request.
