According to reports from the crew of the Ocean Viking, 130 people were on board a rubber dinghy that had attempted the crossing in prohibitive sea conditions and of which traces have been lost to the north-east of Tripoli. Thirteen corpses have so far been sighted at sea but it has not been possible to recover them.
