22 Nov 2024 Sunseeker International LimitedSunseeker: 240,000 GBP fine and confiscation over Myanmar teak without due diligence €368,909
Between April 2021 and July 2022, the yacht builder imported eleven consignments of timber from the EU, including teak from Myanmar, without being able to demonstrate that the risk of illegal logging was negligible; its due diligence system was not maintained and documents were missing. Following a guilty plea, the Bournemouth Crown Court imposed a fine of 240,000 GBP and a confiscation of 66,950.64 GBP (plus costs of 51,619.96 GBP).
For timber from high-risk countries such as Myanmar, the risk can practically never be reduced to a negligible level – purchasing and design should switch to alternatives.
