What Crew Members Say About Bore-Song

In a harrowing incident at Teesport, near Middlesbrough, six North African migrants found themselves in a dire situation after attempting to illegally enter the UK. They had hidden inside a shipping container in Zeebrugge, Belgium, which was subsequently loaded onto the vessel 'Bore Song' (IMO: 9262652) bound for England. After over a day of confinement following the ship's arrival at Teesport on March 31, 2019, shortly after 7 p.m., the group decided to take the drastic step of calling emergency services after realizing they were stuck. In their 999 call, they stated, 'We are stuck in a container,' revealing their desperate plight. By April 2, the container had not been opened, and the men were suffering from dehydration, facing the risk of serious consequences. Aware that their call would likely lead to their arrest, they chose to seek assistance. Emergency ambulances quickly arrived at the port, and the migrants were rushed to the hospital for treatment. Fortunately, none suffered severe injuries, and they were later turned over to the custody of Border Force. This incident highlights the extreme lengths individuals will go to in pursuit of a better life, as well as the urgent need for safe and legal migration pathways.

Bore Ltd has officially announced that it has entered into an agreement with P&O Ferries to extend the charter of the M/V Bore Song. This agreement will sustain the vessel's operations in the North Sea trade following the expiration of the current charter in December 2014. Launched in 2011, the M/V Bore Song features the innovative Bore RoFlex design, which offers flexible carrying capacity and enhanced fuel efficiency while minimizing emissions through its state-of-the-art single common rail engine. This design positions the M/V Bore Song as a forward-thinking, environmentally friendly option for maritime transport. In anticipation of new regulations on sulphur emissions set to take effect, Bore Ltd has committed to installing a scrubber on the vessel by January 2015, further decreasing its ecological impact and promoting sustainable shipping practices.
