Filt Cgil, marine cannot replace who is qualified to the rescues
Columbus: he cannot be the crew to assume the responsibilities to characterize the port where they must be disembarked the saved people
August 3, 2018
"The marine workers cannot and they do not have to be replaced to the characterized staff to assist and to put human lives in salvo, helped in sea". It has emphasized the national secretary of the Filt Cgil, Natale Colombo, referring to a migratory crisis that - he has evidenced - he sees involved in front line also the boarded crews on the mercantile ships".
"In last the three years - the trade-union leader has remembered - these ships, even if not structured for giving assistance to the saved people, are diverted 1,755 times from the competent authorities for being engaged in various hundreds of Sar operations, contributing to save beyond 50 thousand human lives. Last case, the rescue carried out from the crew of the tug Ace 28, with our marine ones that, with praiseworthy dedication to support of the rescue operations, has complyd with the demands for the Libyan coastgard".
"It cannot but be the crew - it has concluded Columbus - to assume the responsibilities to characterize the port where they must be disembarked the people saved, because it would mean to replace itself to the authorities in the political and legal appraisals, in merit also to the castaway condition".
