Freighter assisted in rescue of distressed migrants
The "Fehn Calypso" was involved in the rescue of 10 distressed migrants off the coast of Algier enroute from Milos to Le Treport on Sep 3, 2019, around 2 p.m. The helmsman remarked their wooden 5-m-boat about 455 miles off the coast. The freighter headed towards the position and supplied the men with water, food and medicaments for seasickness. The crew alerted the MRCC in Alméria which advised the ship to remain on standby until the SAR ship "Salvamare Spika" had arrived on site. About three hours later it took the men on board and transported them to Spain.
