• Up to 800 people on board a 50/70 m.

ship

• No sufficient life saving appliances

• No safety certificates

• No professional crew on board

• Sub standard ship

Would you allow this ship to depart from

your ports or to transit in your territorial

waters WITHOUT ANY CONCERN?

IT IS AN HAZARD FOR THE PEOPLE

ON BOARD AND FOR OTHER SHIPS !

PORT STATE CONTROL

A more effective port state control activity by countries of departure

is needed in order to prevent the use of sub standard ships for

illegal immigration

THE INVOLVMENT OF MERCHANT VESSELS IN A CONTINUOUS SAR

OPERATION:

- Security concerns: very high number of rescued people and low number

of crew members - riots risk

- Safety Concerns: dangerous cargoes; logistic spaces; sanitary concerns

- Commercial concerns: costs sustained by owners for voyage deviations

WHAT CAN WE DO AS INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY?

• TO ESTABLISH AND SUSTAIN A PERMANENT AND EFFICIENT SEARCH AND RESCUE

SYSTEM: A HUGE INTERNATIONAL SEARCH AND RESCUE OPERATION IS ESSENTIAL

• TO RELIEVE THE BURDEN THAT DAILY FALLS ON MERCHANT VESSELS: FINANCIAL AND

LEGAL MEASURES

• TO ADEQUATE THE LEGAL FRAME ON SEARCH AND RESCUE: CONSIDERING THE

EXTRAORDINARY SITUATIONS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA
