Italy detains migrant rescue ship over safety concerns

The 180 migrants have been transferred to another boat for a two-week quarantine.

The unspecified problems were “of a nature likely to compromise not only the safety of the ship and its crew, but also of the people who have been and could be recovered onboard”, it added.SOS Mediterranee, which charters the Ocean Viking, released a furious statement condemning “a blatant administrative harassment manoeuvre aimed at impeding our lifesaving work”.

The migrants – mainly from Bangladesh, Eritrea, North Africa and Pakistan – were picked up in four separate rescues in the Mediterranean on June 25 and 30.
