Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Zwerver-3

On August 9, 2025, the tugboat 'Zwerver 3', which was transporting an industrial structure en route to Antwerp, made an unexpected diversion to the port of Los Mármoles in Arrecife. This unscheduled stop was prompted by the discovery of 49 stowaways who had concealed themselves within the structure. The tugboat, having departed from Dakar ten days prior, alerted Arrecife authorities on the morning of August 8 to request docking permission. However, the port authorities mandated a security deposit of one million euros due to maritime regulations that hold shipowners accountable for the upkeep, accommodation, and repatriation of stowaways found on board. As a result, the 'Zwerver 3' remained anchored offshore for several hours while awaiting clearance from maritime officials. Ultimately, Los Mármoles port granted entry to the stowaways on humanitarian grounds. The tugboat was cleared to resume its journey and departed the port on August 12, with an estimated time of arrival at its intended destination set for August 30.
