Supplies depleting onboard Maersk’s tanker stranded at sea after rescuing migrants

Post by Waterbaby »

../.

"Danish-flagged tanker Maersk Etienne has been stuck at sea for almost a month amid a standstill with Maltese authorities that refuse to pick up the migrants the vessel rescued from Tunisian waters at the beginning of August.

Maltese officials requested the tanker on August 4 to rescue 27 migrants stranded in Tunisian waters. However, ever since the authorities have failed to provide for disembarkation of the affected people, allowing the vessel to move forward with its journey."

:shock: :shock: :shock: This is a monumental effort by a commercial tanker master and crew.

What on earth is happening in the world when a captain, crew and company are penalised for an act of humanity? 😒

Says it all Messy! As mentioned in the article, with politics damaging the initial humanitarian rescue, other ships may just ignore such situations for fear of being left out on a limb again.
