Stowaways.... the Convention on Facilitation of International Maritime Traffic, 1965, as amended, (The FAL Convention), defines a stowaway as "a person who is concealed on a ship, or in cargo which is subsequently loaded on the ship, without the consent of the ship owner or the Master or any other responsible person and who is detected on board the ship after it has departed from a port, or in the cargo while unloading it in the port of arrival, and is reported as a stowaway by the master to the appropriate authorities"

The Facts Are. Most stowaways are only discovered after leaving the port Container / Cargo ships are at high risk. Cost of Stowaways worldwide exceeds $20million. Stowaways are known to become agitated and harm staff. Port Security will not take responsibility. Stowaways can die on board due to no food or water. Long delays in a port can be costly. A swift repatriation is vital.
