Det er en nyttig information, for man kan ikke længere spore skibet på MarineTraffic.com. Muligvis har man slukket transponderen.
NGO’en oplyser endvidere dramatisk, at man har installeret kølebokse til transport af lig.
In the last 6 weeks over 700 men, women & children have died attempting to cross the Central #Mediterranean. As a consequence of the increased probability of deaths at sea, a refrigerated shipping container has been installed to store dead bodies. Photos: Guglielmo Mangiapane pic.twitter.com/J3JlxDNjWT
