Following directions by the maritime rescue coordination centre, the ship then sailed in direction of the northern Italian port of La Spezia.

MSF and different NGOs working rescue vessels off Africa’s northern coast accused the Italian authorities of intentionally assigning far-off ports to discourage their operations. Which Italy’s Inside denied.
