Submitted by Richard Donaldson-Alves (MMNETSEA):
I have just received this sad news :-
'Farewell Chagos' because I don't think too many boats will be coming there again! The Brits just gave the news. You can look the entire mess on the web but here's the gist.
Effective 1st Jan 07 the rent will be Pounds Sterling 500 per month, (approx $ 900!), payable in advance! 'On request for a permit, sent by e mail, fax or post a Visit Permit Request form will be sent. Once the completed form and mooring fee, (by bank transfer), have been received by BIOT a permit will be issued.
Please note under BIOT law, any person who enters the Territory, including it's 3 mile wide territorial waters without a permit is liable to imprisonment for up to 3 years and a fine of up to Pounds 3,000.
Please promulgate.
Richard

Confirmed! Glad to hear that Chagos is once more affordable to the cruising yachtsman!

An email just received from a cruiser.
The cost is BP100.00 and not BP500.00. Can anyone confirm this please. |
