227 migrants rescued from five boats
The 'Sea-Watch 5' and 'Aurora 2' rescued a total of 227 people from five boats in distress in international waters in the central Mediterranean between the afternoon of Oct 11 and the evening of Oct 12. During the rescue operations, both Sea-Watch ships were harassed by unidentified boats. In one instance, an individual claiming to be from the Libyan navy threatened the 'Sea-Watch 5' with legal action in Tripoli. The Italian authorities have assigned the 'Sea-Watch 5' the port of Civitavecchia, north of Rome, which was three sailing days away. The 'Aurora 2' was assigned the port of Lampedusa, which it reached on the evening of Oct 12. On Oct 11, the 'Sea Watch 5' initially rescued 28 people from a sinking boat, after an aircraft from the organisation "SOS Mediterranée" reported a distress call. Following another distress call, it rescued 51 more people. Before the second rescue, an unidentified boat repeatedly circled the 'Sea-Watch 5'. On the morning of Oct 12, the creew was informed of another boat in distress in a restricted-access area near an offshore oil platform. The 'Aurora 2' rescued a further 76 people in two separate operations on Oct 12. During the first rescue, an unidentified, dark gray fiberglass boat with four people on board approached the 'Aurora 2' without making contact. The same evening, the ship assisted a sixth boat in distress.
