Reviews & Ratings for the Catania

On September 25, 2019, the cargo ship 'Catania' achieved a remarkable maritime rescue, saving two men who had been adrift in the Mediterranean Sea for three harrowing days, approximately 65 miles off the Spanish coastline. The vessel, which was making its journey from Ghent to Gemlic carrying a load of steel, received a crucial alert from its bridge watch that spotted the distressed individuals in the water. Only one of the men was equipped with a life vest. Upon boarding the freighter using a pilot ladder, the men recounted their dire circumstances. They had set off from Morocco on jet skis with a third companion, who tragically went missing after their watercraft encountered mechanical issues. Left to drift in the vast Mediterranean, they faced overwhelming odds until rescued by the crew of the 'Catania.' In a significant development during the operation, the crew discovered a partially submerged jet ski nearby, indicating the struggle faced by the three men. Following the successful rescue, both individuals and the jet ski were safely transferred to the Search and Rescue (SAR) vessel 'Guardamar Caliope,' which escorted them back to shore.
