四名尼日利亚偷渡者被发现栖息在来自非洲的MSC Fiammetta集装箱船的舵上。

10月26日，这艘船停靠在大加那利岛的拉斯帕尔马斯，当时码头工人发现了偷渡者，并通知了海事当局。

西班牙搜救机构Salvamento Maritimo迅速派出巡逻艇Salvamar Nunki将这些人带上岸。

偷渡者被带上岸接受调查，尽管经历了危险的六天旅程，但他们的健康状况似乎还不错。

MSC Fiammetta于2008年建造，可运载5770标准箱，从科特迪瓦阿比让出发，航行了约2000海里。据报道，这些人就是在那里登船的。



根据跟踪数据，这艘船在海上航行了大约一个星期，偷渡者暴露在恶劣的天气中。

之前的事件表明，偷渡者可以从舵上移动到舵机室，这是一种越来越常见的危险行为。

当局证实，这四名男子正在根据西班牙法律接受调查，该法律通常要求偷渡者返回负责运送他们的船只。

在某些情况下，例如2023年11月在一艘油轮上发现的三名尼日利亚偷渡者，基于人道主义理由获得庇护。

越来越多的移民正试图抵达加那利群岛。西班牙警方报告称，在商船上发现的小船和偷渡者数量激增，2023年6月又发现了两起。

今年早些时候，在另一艘从西非抵达的MSC Marta号船上发现了两名年轻的尼日利亚人。

10月28日，MSC Fiammetta号从加那利群岛恢复航行，前往法国的Fos-sur-Mer，船上的货物完好无损，偷渡者也安全上岸。

英文原文

Four Nigerian stowaways were found perched on the rudder of the MSC Fiammetta, a container ship arriving from Africa.



On October 26, the vessel docked at Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, when dockworkers spotted the stowaways and alerted maritime authorities.



Salvamento Maritimo, a Spanish search and rescue agency, quickly dispatched its patrol boat, Salvamar Nunki, to bring down the individuals.



The stowaways were brought ashore for investigation, and they appeared to be in fair health despite the dangerous six-day journey.



The MSC Fiammetta, which was built in 2008 and can carry 5,770 TEU, traveled around 2,000 nautical miles from Abidjan, Ivory Coast, where the men reportedly boarded.



Per a tracking data, the ship was at sea for about a week, exposing the stowaways to harsh weather.



Previous incidents have shown that stowaways can move from the rudder to the steering gear room, a risky move that has become increasingly common.



Authorities confirmed that the four men were being investigated under Spanish law, which often requires stowaways to return to the ship responsible for their transportation.



In some cases, such as the three Nigerian stowaways found on an oil tanker in November 2023, asylum is granted on humanitarian grounds.



An increasing number of migrants are trying to reach the Canary Islands.  Spanish police have reported an upsurge in sightings of small boats and stowaways on commercial ships, with two more found in June 2023.



Earlier this year, two young Nigerians were spotted aboard another MSC ship, MSC Marta, after it arrived from West Africa.



On October 28, the MSC Fiammetta resumed its journey from the Canary Islands, heading to Fos-sur-Mer, France, with its cargo intact and the stowaways safely ashore.
