Your Post 22, and this quote from the article: "...Sylvi Listhaug, a Progress Party member known for her hard-line stance on immigration..."

confuse the heck out of me. So are we saying that this Nowegian Mediterranean floater wants to stop the wholesale immigration/invasion of the Islamic hordes?

If so, then why the floating exercise?

She is the Immigration Minister and was touring the Norwegian rescue ship being used in the Mediterranean. The article stated: The minister said the Peter Henry von Koss' crew asked her if she wanted to see how they work and get pulled out of the sea and she "did it with joy".

If given that chance I would probably do it to.

And the Peter Henry von Koss is owned by the Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue (Norwegian: Redningsselskapet) which looks like a private charity if I have it figured out right.

Another article says that Three of the crewmembers are from the police, including the Force Commander, and three crewmembers are from The Norwegian Society for Sea Rescue. It mentioned that the ship was under contract, but didn't say who (Greece, Norway, ????) paid for it.
