Tunisia receives three Italian patrol boats for search and rescue operations
As part of Tunisia's efforts to enhance border management and migration control, the country has received three Italian search and rescue boats, each measuring 20 meters, manufactured by the Carpioti shipyard in Trieste, following a complex logistical operation that began in June. These boats, made of aluminum and equipped with self-balancing technology, are designed to operate in the harshest weather and sea conditions to ensure the highest safety standards during search and rescue missions. This support is part of the European package spanning from 2023 to 2027, which includes funding worth hundreds of millions of euros to improve Tunisia’s border surveillance capabilities, combat smuggling, strengthen rescue operations, and reduce migration from Tunisia to Europe by 97% since the signing of the cooperation agreement in 2023.
