DUBLIN, Nov 21 (Reuters) - Sixteen people were discovered on
Thursday in a sealed trailer on a passenger ferry travelling to
Ireland from France and all are in good health, Swedish ferry
operator Stena Line said in a statement.
The group was discovered during a routine inspection on
board a ferry travelling from the French port of Cherbourg to
Rosslare in Ireland, a Stena Line spokesman said.
The vessel was due to arrive in Ireland at 15:30 GMT and
immigration authorities have been alerted, he said, without
giving any further details.
On Oct. 23, 39 bodies, all believed to be Vietnamese
migrants, were discovered in the back of a refrigerated truck
near London. Two people have been charged in Britain and eight
in Vietnam over the deaths.
Dutch authorities on Tuesday found 25 migrants stowed away
on a cargo ferry bound for Britain shortly after it left the
Netherlands.
