The 'Alexander Maersk' changed its course after picking up a stress signal on early June 22, 2018, and picked up 113 migrants. The vessel was currently situated off the coast of the Sicilian town of Pozzallo and awaiting instructions from the Italian Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC Rome). The Maersk container's move to rescue the migrants is part of an ancient code of conduct. Italy's new right extremist populist government has threatened to seize several other ships carrying migrants, sparking a row with the EU. Infrastructure minister Danilo Toninelli on June 21 said that two rescue migrant ships -- the 'Lifeline' and 'Seefuchs' of German NGOs would be seized and directed to Italian ports for investigation 'into their legal status', describing migrants as 'human meat'.
