Cruise ship skipped port call after assisting migrant boat
In the night of Oct 9, 2023, the 'Norwegian Breakaway' was called by the Italian Coast Guard to assist a refugee boat in distress. Being the next ship in the region south of mainland Italy, the ÄNorwegian Breakaway' proceeded to the position at around midnight. Together with a cargo ship, the crew of the 'Norwegian Breakaway' investigated the situation and determined that there was no immediate threat to the lives of those on board the unseaworthy boat. The Italian Coast Guard also rushed to rescue the approximately 200 people. After about four hours at the migrant boat's position, the 'Norwegian Breakway' was able to continue its journey. Due to the delay caused by the assistance, the call at Catania had to be skipped. The ship completed an unscheduled day at sea and arrived in Naples as scheduled in the morning of Oct 11.
