Stowaway headache draws attention in South Africa

06 July 2022

Strict South African laws prevent disembarkation of stowaways in South African ports. Many stowaways in South African ports originate in Tanzania and are repeat offenders. Their objective for stowing away repeatedly appears to be the travel money paid by shipowners – typically in the order of few hundred dollars – to ensure the stowaway’s cooperation and peaceful repatriation. BIMCO recently discussed these issues in a conference hosted by the South African government.
