7. 欧盟海军地中海索菲亚行动报告，偷运者采用的战术与上个报告所述期间类似，中地中海路线大多数人口偷运船只的燃料不足以抵达欧洲海岸，但可以抵达利比亚领海 12 海里界限以外的水域。难民署注意到，据报在本报告所述期间许多营救和拦截发生在利比亚领海以外很远的地方，超过三分之一的营救和拦截发生在利比亚搜索和救援区以外，即的黎波里以北 90 海里处。索非亚行动报告，移民偷运者继续采用一些避免被利比亚海岸警卫队和海军拦截的战术、技术和程序。在一些情况下，难民和移民只能独自旅行，得到使用全球定位系统在海上航行的基本指示，或者直接前往利比亚近海的石油钻井平台。根据全球定位系统的显示，在到达领海以外的某一地点，乘客使用卫星电话联系罗马的海上救援协调中心或其他机构，发出信号并等待救援。在本报告所述期间，索菲亚行动没有观察到利用渔船偷运的战术(与上一时期相反，特别是在祖瓦拉至兰佩杜萨的路线上)。
7. In terms of tactics employed by smugglers, EUNAVFOR MED operation SOPHIA reported that, as in the previous reporting period, the majority of boats smuggling persons along the central Mediterranean route were filled with insufficient fuel to reach European shores, but enough to reach waters beyond the 12-nautical-mile limit of the territorial sea of Libya. UNHCR observed that, during the reporting period, many rescues and interceptions were reported as having taken place far beyond Libyan territorial waters, with over a third of rescues and interceptio ns reported as having taken place beyond the Libyan Search and Rescue Region, which extends just over 90 nautical miles north of Tripoli. The operation reported that migrant smugglers continued to employ tactics, techniques and procedures to avoid being apprehended by the Libyan coastguard and navy. In a number of cases, refugees and migrants were left to travel alone, provided with basic instructions on how to navigate the sea using a Global Positioning System or directed towards oil rigs off the coast of Libya. Upon reaching a certain point outside the territorial sea, as indicated by the Global Positioning System, boat occupants were instructed to use a satellite phone to make a phone call to the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre in Rome or others to alert them of their situation and await rescue. During the reporting period, the operation did not observe smuggling tactics involving fishing vessels (contrary to the previous reporting period, when such tactics were observed in particular on the route from Zuwarah to Lampedusa).
