Criminal gangs are using over a dozen small ports and harbours not protected by border officials to smuggle hundreds of migrants into the UK. Europol has identified the following smuggling hotspots: Hull, Immingham, Orford Ness, Harwich, Tilbury, Purfleet, Whitstable, Dover, Newhaven, Chichester, Portsmouth, and Portbury. The Chief Inspector of Borders warned that border officials are not collecting details about the identity of passengers entering the country on small boats. Captains routinely ignore legal requirements to report their movements and who they have on board. The Border Force rates its own performance as poor in 27 out of 28 areas.
