In May 2004, the captain of the Wisteria, the property of a Japanese company flying a Panamanian flag, ordered its crew to abandon four stowaways who were discovered when the ship was on the open sea, in the Atlantic Ocean. The information surfaced after several crew members filed complaints about the events when the ship reached a port in Galicia (north-west Spain).
