Stowaways, Smuggling and Trafficking Signs
Readiness training. Guarding.Tech does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
This is a knowledge course. It is not ISPS Code training and is not recognised by any port or maritime authority.
It is 4 a.m. in the yard. You hear knocking. It comes from inside a steel container that is due to be loaded at six. Then you hear a voice.
Whoever is inside has broken the rules. That person may also be out of air, out of water and very afraid.
Focus: a person in danger comes first. Notice, keep safe, report. Use no force. Leave the questions to the authorities.
Learning objectives
- Act safely and kindly when a stowaway is found.
- Notice and report behaviour that may point to smuggling or trafficking.
- Name the common ways round security and the habit that closes each.
