Nexoe-Maersk

In the early morning of April 4, 2024, the Greek MRCC was informed of the existence of a boat with 37 migrants on board 19 nautical miles southeast of Gavdos. They were picked up by the 'Nexoe Maersk', en route from Mersin, which transported them near the port of Paleochora, Chania, where they were picked up by a patrol boat of the Greek Coastguard and landed safely in port. They were transferred to a temporary storage area of the Municipality of Chania. A 41-year-old and a 28-year-old man were arrested by the Central Port Authority of Chania, which conducted the preliminary investigation, for violating Law 3386/2005 "Illegal Entry into the Country", Law 5038/2023 as amended and in force with Law 5079/2023 "Immigration Code", of article 45 P.C. "Partnership" and Article 306 of the Civil Code.
