Participants

Hampshire Constabulary
Maritime and Coastguard Agency
Outcome
Seven stowaways detained
On 25 October 2020, the Liberian-flagged crude oil tanker Nave Andromeda issued a distress call while in the English Channel just off the coast of the Isle of Wight, in response to the presence of seven stowaways who had boarded the ship in Lagos, Nigeria. Hampshire Constabulary responded to the call, and the British maritime special forces unit, the Special Boat Service, boarded the vessel and detained the stowaways. Two of the stowaways were subsequently charged with conduct endangering ships, though the charges were later dropped after the Crown Prosecution Service found insufficient evidence that the ship or crew were threatened, or that the men had intended to hijack the ship.
