Resumen

Throughout this work we will discuss many of the problems of the so-called stowaways, their definition,why they embark clandestinely on ships, what are their most common ways of accessing the ships, therisks they run when trying to do so, etc. On the one hand, we will also find the law on maritimenavigation which regulates the status of stowaways. On the other hand, we will explain what maritimesecurity is, how security levels are established and who decides what levels ports and their vessels areat, what means would be used to communicate these changes, etc. We will also talk about some ofthe ports with the highest number of stowaways, from personal experience, providing images to get anidea of what each port we are talking about is like and also adding a small personal contribution ofsome things that could have been changed or implemented during the time of the highest number ofstowaways in the ports
