Sea-Watch 3 can not leave Catania

The controversial vessel Sea-Watch 3 is not allowed to sail the Sicilian port of Catania for the time being because 'irregularities' have been detected on the boat during an inspection.

The ship was with 47 migrants on board after a long trip and after several days offshore at Syracuse anchored, entering the port of Catania. That was after the Italian government had received the assurance and number of European countries that they are taking over almost all migrants. They left the ship on Thursday.
