  1. The first sentence should be "thank you". Because Italy can very well not provide you of any port to disembark them at all. The nearest safe port, for almost all this "rescue" operations is in Tunisia, then Malta. You decided to not go there. By the maritime law, Italy has no obligation to give you a third safe port to carry on your migrant ferry activity disguised as rescue operation. No more than Iceland, or the US, have. By starting with "thank you", may be you'll be able to obtain more than being confrontational and trying to shame the other part in giving you something he has no obligation to provide. Then, if you ask for a port, it means you are in a state of necessity and, if you are in a state of necessity, you shouldn't be able to stroll around rescuing other people. As long as you are able to do so, you don't need any port and shouldn't stress a country's facilities by asking for one. Finally, I really cannot see what's so shaming about providing the refugees infos about the asylum asking process, and collecting the names of those that eventually want to apply. It's only a way to speed up the screening process once landed, making it less stressful for the refugees themself. It seems that you prefer to treat them like cargo, to toss overboard the fastest possible and with the less involvement possible, so to make room for the next load.
