Container: Heat Stroke and Port

container: The stowaways arrived in the Port of Montreal in a container that came off a Hong Kong-flagged ship that had last visited Hamburg, Germany. 4 stowaways found alive in shipping container at Port of Montreal Where it may have been before then, and at which port of call the men came aboard, is still unknown, according to CBC. I guess it was just a matter of time before people were desperate enough to actually try this again, Taillefer said. The four men, who are believed to be in their 30s and 40s, were taken to hospital and treated for heat stroke and dehydration. In a way, it's not more different than what we've seen at the border in the past few months. The men were found by a Port of Montreal container checker after they made noise and stuck a white flag out of the shipping container. It's just much more dangerous, he added.
