MEDITERRANEAN SEA - JUNE 10: From left: MSF (Medecins Sans Frontieres) Will Turner (Emergency Coordinator) and Mary Jo Frawley (nurse) are seen as they deliver food onboard of the Phoenix to some of the 77 migrants whom have been sailing overnight for seven hours befre been rescued by the MOAS Search and Rescue teams on June 10, 2015 during their mission in the Mediterranean Sea.
The MOAS (Migrant Offshore Aid Station) is a registered Foundation based in Malta. It is dedicated to preventing loss of life at sea by providing assistance to migrants who find themselves in distress while crossing the Mediterranean Sea in unsafe vessels.
Equipped with the 40 meters (130 ft) expedition vessel, the Phoenix, two Remote Piloted Aircraft, two RHIBs (rigid-hulled inflatable boats), and a highly experienced team of rescuers and paramedics from MSF (Medecins Sans Frontieres) , MOAS is able to locate, monitor, assist and rescue vessels in distress.
Once the migrants are rescued the MOAS deliver them in the ports of Sicily in Southern Italy where they hand them over to the Italian authorities which they will assist, register and host them in temporary centers for migrants in the port where they have been disembark.
The project is financed by Christopher and Regina Catrambone a couple of millionaire humanitarian entrepreneur whom believe strongly in mitigating the migrant disasters in the Mediterranean.
