COPENHAGEN (Reuters) – Maersk Tankers said on Friday the 27 migrants that were stuck onboard the Maersk Etienne tanker for more than a month have safely disembarked to a ship operated by the NGO Mediterranea.
The tanker’s crew rescued the migrants, including a pregnant woman, on Aug. 4 near Malta from a wooden dinghy that had been at sea for days and sank immediately after the rescue operation.
