Anas Al Mustafa, of Heather Crescent, Swansea, was charged with assisting unlawful entry to the UK following the major response at the East Sussex port on Friday.
Six people were taken to hospital.
The 42-year-old has been remanded in custody and will appear at Brighton Magistrates’ Court.
On Friday, police said two men had been arrested in connection with the incident, one on suspicion of people smuggling and the other on suspicion of entering the UK illegally.
