All the migrants rescued in the Mediterranean by a Maersk Line vessel last week have now been disembarked in Italy.
The Danish owner said that following the instructions of the Maritime Response Coordination Centre (MRCC) in Rome, the 1,068-teu Alexander Maersk (built 1998) was able to berth at Pozzallo, Sicily.
"The vessel came alongside on 26 June 2018 and at 1:20am CET the 108 people, who were picked up by the vessel in international waters between Libya and Malta on Friday 21 June and still on board, were subsequently disembarked from the vessel," it added.
