Stowaways would most likely be found on cargo or container vessels coming from certain regions so I think "determinados tipos de buques" refers to those types of vessels as opposed to say a cruise ship, a military vessel, a research vessel etc. coming from a region where the incidence of stowaways is low.
The port requires such vessels to provide information regarding any stowaways they may have caught on board. That is how I understand it.

agree  neilmac: Yes, "determinados tipos de buques" are more prone to use by stowaways. No other easy way to express the idea.
