Akij-Pearl Vessel Reviews and Specifications

**Title: Ethiopian Stowaway Uncovered at Paradip Port** On May 18, 2026, an unexpected incident unfolded at Paradip Port as immigration officials intercepted a 40-year-old stowaway from Ethiopia aboard the 'Akij Pearl.' The vessel, which originates from Bangladesh, had recently arrived from Djibouti, transporting a cargo of limestone. The stowaway, identified as Abay Tadess Andnet, reportedly boarded the ship while it was docked in Djibouti. Upon discovering the unauthorized passenger, the ship's captain promptly informed immigration, customs, port authorities, the police, and other relevant agencies, initiating a swift response. In the wake of this incident, security protocols at Paradip Port were intensified. A collaborative investigation by officials from the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), the Coast Guard, marine police, customs, and port authorities took place to ensure a thorough questioning process of the stowaway. After completing the necessary formalities and investigations, the 'Akij Pearl' was cleared for departure and continued its journey to Chittagong later that same day.
