Two Stowaways found aboard tanker at Texas City port
Two stowaways believed to be from Columbia were found aboard a Liberia flagged oil tanker that was docked at the Port of Texas City on Wednesday morning, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokeswoman said. Officials are investigating how the men got aboard the ship, but it’s believed they made their way on board while the ship was being refueled at sea. The tanker Alter Ego II was docked at Pier 21 at the Port of Texas City to offload crude oil at 10:30 a.m. A Customs and Border Protection officer was conducting a routine vessel boarding when he was notified of the stowaways, agency spokeswoman Paula Rivera said.
