P&O cruise ship helps rescue 20 migrants 'yelling for help' on dingy in Med

A CRUISE ship rescued 20 migrants on an inflatable dinghy in the Mediterranean, who were heard yelling for help by passengers.

The 290 ft, 115, 000 ton ship was then brought to a halt and a lifeboat then sent to pick up its struggling passengers, most of whom were men in their late teens and early 20s. “The officers on the bridge were aware of the situation but it takes some considerable time to stop a large ship and then circle it around to find the small craft again.It then then took another two hours for all of the migrants to be brought on board the Azura, which was delayed for 10 hours and diverted to the port of Almeria to let them off.Some passengers reportedly broke out into applause over the rescue, while the migrants waved and smiled at the ship as they left the ship.

“The attitude of the passengers was quite mixed. Many were angry that we had been delayed and had to rescue these migrants. It was actually quite shocking what some people were saying.
