Rescue crew’s tough call: sail away to keep other migrants safe
#Pal_Erik_Teigen had to make a tough call Saturday: sail a rescue ship away from desperate migrants in waters off the Libyan coast in order to safeguard the lives of others.
The drama began at around 8 pm, 20 nautical miles off Libya, as rescuers were transferring migrants onto the #Siem_Pilot, a vessel built as an oil platform supply ship but now used by the EU border force #Frontex in its Mediterranean rescue operations.
