What Crew Members Say About Zeko-Y

On July 29, the Turkish cargo ship Perge responded heroically to a distress call, rescuing 112 Libyan refugees stranded on a precarious plastic boat near Tripoli. The vessel, which sails under a Liberian flag, is managed by the Turkish shipping company Polaris Shipping. Following the rescue, the ship's captain, Alp Guney, communicated with the Italian Navy, which instructed the Perge to head towards Sicily. Reports indicate that among the rescued, many were women and children, highlighting the urgent humanitarian situation. Captain Guney provided an update to the maritime news portal www.denizhaber.com, stating, "All immigrants were safely transferred from the tugboat Hamal and the rubber boat. Currently, there are 112 individuals on board, and no major medical assistance is required at this moment. However, we do have one pregnant woman who is being monitored by the medical officer on board." Tragically, he revealed that according to information from the refugees, five individuals had died over the previous three days. Fortunately, no bodies were found during the search and rescue operation. By 16:30 GMT, the M/V Perge was en route to Lampedusa Island, continuing its critical mission to aid those in distress at sea.
