The Trotamar III has left the port of Lampedusa the day bevore yesterday and is now on her way to the SAR zones. Our volunteer crew has now been preparing for more than a week to look out for distress cases at sea and come to the aid of people on their dangerous journey across the central Mediterranean Sea.
