WILLEMSTAD - Experience shows that during the carnival period the number of transports in illegal smuggling goods increases. The vessels often try to come ashore with the forbidden contraband.

In the coming carnival period, the Coast Guard will monitor and patrol more with the aim of intercepting suspicious boats. As an alert citizen, you can help the Coast Guard to detect suspicious situations at sea. The Coast Guard is accessible through the number 913. Together we can protect the sea and the waters around the island.
