The Erasmusgracht was heading from Turkey to Poland when
it spotted the boat carrying the migrants,some 250 miles south east of the
Italian coast.
According to Nos, the boat had been drifting for two days after
the motor failed. The crew had left in a motor boat, leaving their passengers
to fend for themselves.
Some of the people on board are in a bad way, including
several children, Nos said. They had food on board but nothing to drink and
several had drunk sea water.
The Erasmusgracht is now moored off the coast of
Sicily, where it hopes to leave the migrants.
A spokesman for the ship’s owner,
shipping company Spliethoff, told the broadcaster a German merchant ship had
refused the help the migrants and sailed away.
