This Thursday, GNR rescued 138 migrants as part of the joint operation “THEMIS 2023” 12 nautical miles off the coast of Crotone in Italy.
The GNR statement said that “while on patrol, the offshore patrol boat Bojador, using its surveillance systems, at 06:55 a.m. detected a fishing vessel heading for the Italian coast, where several people were on the deck of the vessel. “.
More than a hundred migrants were on board the vessel, for whom a search and rescue operation was declared “because the safety conditions for the crew were not met and the environment was overcrowded,” the agency explains.
The coastal patrol boat Bojador carried out the rescue of all migrants, 36 women and 35 children, who were transferred to the Portuguese vessel.
During the voyage to the port of Crotone, one of the women on board, “weakened” in the last stage of her pregnancy, was rescued on board by “a medical team from the ship Guardia Costiera which was placed on the spot,” promotes GNR in a note.
