Two young Moroccans, allegedly minors, tried to cross the Strait of Gibraltar on June 5, 2021, at 8.30 a.m., hiding near the vehicle ramp of the 'Jaume I' which was headed from Ceuto to Algeciras (Cádiz). The ship had to delay its departure for about an hour after the crew noticed the presence of the two migrants who had hidden next to the vehicle ramp. Both the Civil Guard and the Port Police had to intervene to get the two young men to leave the place, where they were at serious risk.
