Stowaways in South Africa
North has received news of recent increases in the number of stowaways in Durban, South Africa. Local correspondents P&I Associates (Pty) Ltd in Durban have reportedly been inundated with stowaway incidents in recent months. There is concern that these numbers may increase further as the Christmas period approaches and people attempt to travel back to their home countries.
