Russian authorities in Kaliningrad are investigating the deaths of two likely stowaways who were found in a cargo hold of the bulk carrier Lady Serra which had docked at Svetly port over the weekend. The ship came from Nigeria. While in transit four other stowaways were found on the ship.

The handy ship is owned by Turkey’s Deval Transport.

Comments

  1. Lloyd’s List had some accomplished, long-time correspondents on the pay-roll when Mr. Chambers came to his post. Today they are gone and Lloyd’s List, like the Journal of Commerce, is an expensive shadow of itself that no longer permeates all levels of the industry or can be depended upon for in depth analysis and investigative stories.
    Tell me how I am wrong in this opinion – I welcome the discussion.
