[A police officer at the scene said they
are still trying to determine the nationalities
of those on board the container but they
are believed to be of Indian origin, possibly Punjab.
They were on board a Dutch vessel called the Norstream
which is owned by P&O and transports lorries
as well as containers.
Reports suggest the ship left the Belgian port at 10pm,
but may have been loaded up as early
as 6pm - suggesting the stowaways could
have been in the container for up to 12 hours.

"Police 'Confident' In Hunt For Container Lorry"

yes but did the Driver know there were people in there?

[Police have launched a murder investigation after 35 people, thought to be
from the Indian subcontinent were found trapped inside a shipping container,
leading to one of them dying. Workers at Tilbury Docks in Essex raised
the alarm yesterday morning after hearing desperate cries for help from
the sealed container, which had arrived on a P&O cargo ferry
from the Belgian port of Zeebrugge. ]
