Jw-Flora Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On August 30, 2024, the cargo vessel 'Great Sheng Wen' was in Paradip when port authorities discovered three stowaways hidden onboard. The vessel had previously arrived from Kavkaz, where it loaded a shipment of coal. After discharging part of its cargo at Visakhapatnam, the ship continued its journey to Paradip, where it was scheduled to unload an additional 10,000 metric tons destined for Arcelor Mittal Nippon Steel India Ltd. The shipping agent, Atlantic Global Shipping Pvt. Ltd., alerted the deputy conservator about the situation involving the stowaways, all hailing from Ghana, who had reportedly boarded the ship during cargo unloading. For safety and legal reasons, the stowaways have been confined to the vessel and are not permitted to disembark.

From there, he was promptly taken by ambulance to the General Hospital of Syros for necessary medical treatment.
