Barge prepared to house 500 male migrants in UK harbor

A controversial accommodation barge authorized by Britain’s parliament arrived at Portland port in Dorset Tuesday. The three-story barge named Bibby Stockholm will accommodate 500 adult male migrants while they wait for their asylum claims to be processed. The United Kingdom’s Home Office said the barge will “reduce the reliance on expensive hotels” and provide migrants with basic accommodation, health care, and catering facilities.
