On December 13, 2024, a series of four dramatic rescue missions took place near Greece, resulting in the successful rescue of approximately 200 migrants. Unfortunately, the situation is dire as five individuals have been confirmed dead, with around 40 still unaccounted for. One ongoing search and rescue (SAR) operation is concentrated in this critical area. The container ship 'Mito' (IMO: 9319571) played a vital role in the rescue, saving 39 people from a submerged vessel approximately 12 nautical miles southwest of Gavdos island amidst treacherous weather conditions. Tragically, five bodies were retrieved from the water, and survivors have reported that around 40 individuals remain missing. Additional efforts were led by the LPG tanker 'British Achiever' (IMO: 9766542), which rescued 89 migrants approximately 28 nautical miles south of Gavdos, and the cargo ship 'Seabee' (IMO: 9698941), which saved 47 individuals about 40 nautical miles off Gavdos. Furthermore, the cement carrier 'Blue Ciment 4' successfully rescued 28 people from a distressed vessel located six nautical miles off Cape Tainaron. In response to the crisis, the Greek Coast Guard has initiated thorough overnight search operations in the area, enlisting the support of Navy helicopters and other commercial vessels to locate the missing migrants. The maritime community continues to watch this unfolding humanitarian situation closely.
