Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Easterly-As-Omaria

On September 3, 2016, the crew of the tank ship "AS Omaria" sprang into action, rescuing a beleaguered sailor stranded between the picturesque islands of Møn and Hiddensee off Rügen. The sailor, navigating his 9.5-meter catamaran yacht "Balance," faced critical challenges as severe water ingress and damage plagued his vessel amidst high swell conditions in the Kadet Strait. After issuing a desperate mayday call, his plea was quickly heard by the "AS Omaria," which was nearby. Emergency services were alerted by the MRCC Bremen, prompting the lifeboat "Theo Fischer" to head to the scene from its location near Prerow. Demonstrating commendable seamanship, the crew of the "AS Omaria" managed to bring the stricken "Balance" alongside and safely transferred the sailor onto the lifeboat. Once the sailor was secure, the damaged catamaran was stabilized using floating devices, allowing the multi-purpose ship "Arkona" to take over further assistance.
