Migrant Ship Stranded in Med. Docks in Malta; Malta PM Impounds Ship,Probes Crew Legality

A rescue ship stranded in the Mediterranean Sea for days amid an international row over its fate has docked in Malta, the Sky News website reports today (June 28, 2018).

The 234 migrants on board the ship had been rescued in the Mediterranean last week.

Joseph Muscat, Malta's prime minister, said the ship would be allowed to dock, but would be impounded and its crew placed under investigation for operating illegally.

Migrants crowded the deck, wearing orange life jackets, and waved as they entered the port of Valletta under escort by a Maltese patrol boat.
