Yes, Ben can be prosecuted.
- The merchant vessel, must be following a proper liquor and drugs system like any other organisation. Wherein the team individuals need to test each other on an unplanned rota premise.
- In such a scenario, during the test, drugs can be easily found out and the person can be prosecuted.
- In the Philippines regularly at air terminals sniffer dogs check the luggage. They can effectively smell out a whiff of opium or some other drug
- Even If the ship is two miles away, it is still inside the three miles port cutoff, if port specialists choose to inspect the ship, and on the off chance that anything illegal is found there will be fines and even the job loss.
