2001年4月8日协会发布一篇题为”藏身于装舵杆空档处的偷渡者” 的会员警告通函关注题述问题。这一问题仍然普遍存在。本通函是为了提醒会员采取适当预防措施，以防偷渡者登船并藏身于装舵杆空档处。
就协会所知，偷渡者在港口区域等待，天黑之后游泳至舵杆处，攀爬上去，并躲入空档处。他们一旦躲入船舶外部区域，就很难被船员发现。

Stowaways hiding in rudder stock recess
Members may recall that, on April 8, 2001, the Club issued a Member Alert, entitled Stowaways Hiding In Rudder Stock Recess, which drew attention to the problem specified in the title of the alert. This problem, it would seem, persists. This alert is to remind Members to take proper precautions in order to prevent stowaways from boarding and hiding themselves in this manner.
Our information indicates that, as previously advised, stowaways wait in port areas until after dark and then swim to the rudder stock, climbing it and hiding inside the recess. Having gained access to an external area of the vessel, they cannot then be easily found by the ship’s crew.
