Yesterday evening, the TROTAMAR III left the port of Licata in Sicily and set course for the search and rescue zone. On board is a well-prepared crew of six under skipper Matthias and co-skipper Ina. After storms and extreme rainfall, the waves and wind south of Sicily are now manageable and we are now ready to take emergency calls.
When the weather is good, people leave the African coast every day in unseaworthy boats, facing war, persecution, torture, hunger, misery or rape. We want to help these people.
