The fishing boat was in poor condition and running rough, so it was escorted by the Italian coastguard and towed to the port of Crotona.

The Italian coastguard carried out rescue operations in the early morning on Saturday about 500 people travel in a fishing boat in poor condition shipwrecked and sailing in rough seas near the Italian coast of calabria.
The migrants arrived at the port of Crotona around 00:30 local time escorted by three patrol boats from the Crotone Port Authority and helped by a tugboat, according to ‘Rai’, and they are already at the reception center on Isola di Capo Rizzuto, near Crotone.
According to sources from the newspaper ‘La Repubblica’, the ship was spotted on Friday night by a mission plane from the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex), and would have left the Libyan region of Cyrenaicain the east of the country.
The NGO Alarm Phone contacted some travelers when they were detected, and they announced it on their Twitter account: “They called us from Italy’s search and rescue area and we have already alerted the corresponding authorities. We can don’t waste any more time and help must be sent immediately”.
