  18. Topicality The next European crisis: boat people FOR THE past year excessive sovereign debt has endangered the European project. For the coming year it may be north African boat people who present the greatest danger to European unity. The turmoil over illegal migrants is a consequence of the Arab pro-democracy awakening on the far side of the Mediterranean and, perhaps, of the Western military intervention in Libya. According to UNHCR, more than 20,000 boat people have landed on the Italian island of Lampedusa this year, almost all of them from Tunisia. More than 800 have arrived in Malta, mostly from Libya.

About 96% of the world trade is carried by maritime transportation. Transport by water is cheaperthan transport byair.

It can go over water, land, sand, swamp etc… it has a large capacity, so tanks and many soldiers can be transported fast to their destination.
