Almost 300 small boat migrants have crossed the English Channel in the past 24 hours. An improvement in weather saw almost 140 arrive on Tuesday. Today already, a further 150 have made the illegal crossing. Weather conditions are expected to remain good until Thursday afternoon, with more crossings expected in the hours ahead. TRENDING Stories Videos Your Say New vessels operated by the Border Security Command have spent a second day responding to multiple small boat sightings. At least two migrant boats were forced to turn back earlier today after suffering engine failure. GB News revealed this morning that Border Security Command has deployed new vessels to collect migrants making their way across the Channel. The newly branded Border Security Command vessel Courageous arrived at Dover harbour just after 5pm on Tuesday. The People’s Channel counted 65 migrants who were brought ashore at the new Border Security Command processing centre in Dover. The new vessels are slightly large variants of catamarans that were previously deployed by Border Force in response to migrant sightings. Whether the older vessels, which include Tiger, Typhoon and Hurricane, will remain in use is unclear. With weather conditions relatively calm, it marks an opportunity for migrants to make the perilous trip.
