Seven people were detained on Sunday evening when stowaways on board the Liberian-registered Nave Andromeda reportedly became violent. About 16 members of the Special Boat Service (SBS) ended the tense ten-hour standoff in a nine-minute operation. All 22 crew members, who were locked in the ship's citadel, are safe. "The seven stowaways - believed to be Nigerians seeking asylum in the UK - were detained and handed over to Hampshire Police," he added. The 748ft-long (228m) ship is known to have left Lagos in Nigeria on 5 October, and was heading to Fawley Oil Refinery near Southampton. As it approached its destination just east of the Isle of Wight on Sunday morning it was reported that seven stowaways on board had become violent. Lawyers for the vessel's owners - Greek shipping company Navios - said the crew had been aware of the stowaways on board for some time. In December 2018, four stowaways were detained after they ran amok on a container ship in the Thames Estuary. The men, from Nigeria and Liberia, waved metal poles and threw faeces and urine after being found hiding on the Grande Tema.
