Abstract:

Pressure arising from international, EU and national measures implemented to counter “illegal” migration has led to changes in maritime transport practices. Shipping companies and ports are motivated to get rid of stowaways quickly and by any means possible, and have adopted informal operational practices to this end. Increasingly, stowaways are becoming pawns in a game managed on the basis of practical considerations rather than the law.
