A entrepreneur couple ~ he's American, she's Italian ~ are doing God's work, in the words of the priest who blessed the venture. Their Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS) is a ship called the Phoenix that sails the international waters of the Mediterranean looking for migrant boats in need of aid. When it finds such a boat, it communicates its location to Maltese authorities and dispenses food, water, life jackets, and medical aid. The Phoenix is equipped with, among other things, a medical bay, dinghies, two leased drones with night vision and thermal imaging cameras, and a crew that includes a former commander of the Armed Forces of Malta (story, video):
