Means of travel and transportation

There are several means of transportation used by migrants including airplanes, coaches and trains, cars and taxis, ships, ferries, boats, rubber dinghies and even bicycles or donkeys. In recent decades, there has been a huge increase in the number of carriers and in particular low budget carriers available to travellers and migrants. For the regular passenger, journeys have become safer, faster, and more affordable, connecting more places than ever before. For the irregular passenger however, journeys often remain dangerous, slow and expensive. Many means of transportation such as low budget flights or long distance coaches are used simultaneously by travellers and migrants, as well as by regular and irregular migrants.

Boat migration across the Central Mediterranean: drivers, experiences and responses

Authors S McMahon, N Sigona
Description
In 2015 an estimated 1,011,712 people crossed the Mediterranean to Europe in search of safety and a better life. 3,770 are known to have died trying to make this journey1. Funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and the Department for International Development (DfID), the MEDMIG project examines the dynamics, determinants, drivers and infrastructures underpinning this recent migration across and loss of life in the Mediterranean. This research brief presents some of our findings in relation to the Central Mediterranean route from North Africa to Italy and Malta, exploring the dynamics of migration before, during and after the sea crossing. We will place particular focus on the motivations, routes and experiences of those making the journey and local, national and European Union (EU) policy responses.

Migrants smuggled by sea to the EU : facts, laws and policy options

Authors Philippe DE BRUYCKER, Anna DI BARTOLOMEO, Philippe FARGUES
Description
On 3 October 2013, 366 migrants drowned when their boat sank less than a mile off the shore of the Italian island of Lampedusa. A number of questions must be addressed in finding the best policy response to this tragedy. Was it the sign of a new trend in irregular migration to the EU; or was it a sign of increased risks associated with smuggling? Do smuggled migrants resemble regular asylum seekers and migrants or do they represent a specific group? In other words do the Lampedusa events call for a drastic revision of EU asylum and migration policy or an ad hoc response?

Institutional and organizational adaptation emergency. Lessons from irregular maritime African migration to the Canary Islands

Authors El Observatorio de la Inmigración de Tenerife (OBITen)
Description
During 2006 the Canary Islands received more than 30,000 boat people from the West African coasts. The so-called “cayuco crisis” resulted in institutional and or-ganizational improvement in the management of irre-gular migration flows through the Canaries Regional Coordination Centre, established in 2006. The centre coordinates the interception, retention and repatriation provisions and integrates several institutional actors like Frontex, the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and NGOs. The paper describes this new institutional structure, its functions, actions and organi-zation. Several years have passed since 2006 and arrivals have dropped to low levels. There are lessons to be drawn from the organizational innovation experience in the Canary Islands. The paper identifies improvements and shortcomings in managing irregular migration flows.
