Crew being threatened on Thames ship as Migrants threaten staff
Quote:
A group of migrants has been found on a cargo container ship in the Thames Estuary and is threatening the crew, demanding to be taken to the coast.
Authorities are dealing with the ongoing incident where the group was discovered stowed away on the 236-metre long cargo ship, the Grande Tema.
Paul Kyprianou, spokesman for the Grimaldi Group shipping company, told Sky News: "We found four stowaways. The vessel was coming from Nigeria... They managed to escape from the cabin and started threatening the crew, requesting to have the vessel navigate very close to the coast... we understand they wanted to jump and reach the British coast."
He said the crew reacted and locked themselves in the bridge of the vessel and are safe, and that the stowaways are not armed but have picked up potentially harmful objects.
"They managed to get whatever they could find on the vessel... pieces of iron, tubes and things like that and this is what they used in order to threaten.
"The vessel is under the command of the crew there is no question about that... the only problem is that we have four people who are free on the deck and they are threatening crew members and requesting they get close to the coast."

Detained, brought to the UK, then allowed to claim asylum?

Why isn't this piracy?

Maybe the dumb-but-expensive prosecutor doesn't know his Maritime Law?

Because piracy is the intent to steal cargo with violence.

I think the unauthorised reproduction of someone else's work is the least of their worries or crimes

They should be sent back from whence they came. The more migrants we accept who have illegally entered the country rather than return to France, the more the rest will be encouraged.
