The three migrants were “in the rudder blade of the ship ‘Alithini II'” when it anchored near the port of Las Palmas, the Spanish coastguard told AFP news agency on Monday. The authorities initially gave no information about the origin of the rescued.
“They were tired and showed signs of hypothermia and were treated by health services on arrival at port,” the statement said. The rescued were “moderately dehydrated” and had to be treated in hospital, the emergency number 112 wrote on Twitter.
According to the tracking website shipfinder.com, the Maltese-flagged “Alithini II” departed Nigeria’s capital, Lagos, on Nov. 17. On Monday, the oil tanker arrived at the port of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands, off the northwest coast of Africa.
