Johann Vessel Reviews and Specifications

On July 8, 2020, at precisely 2:16 p.m., the CROSS Etel was triggered by a 406 MHZ distress beacon signal emanating from the British yacht 'Lady Nirvana' (MMSI: 232026455), which was positioned about 170 nautical miles southwest of Penmarc'h. The yacht's two crew members found themselves unable to navigate the vessel safely. A Falcon 50 aircraft from the French Navy, conducting surveillance operations in the vicinity, also detected the distress call. Responding promptly, the aircraft diverted to communicate with the stranded crew and to coordinate with CROSS Etel and the Center de Consultation Médicale Maritime (CCMM). While the crew members did not require medical evacuation, they expressed an urgent need to be disembarked. Following this, CROSS Etel dispatched an emergency message via 'SafeSeaNet,' prompting the vessel 'Johann,' which was on its way from Ferrol to Muuga, to change course. By 4:20 p.m., 'Johann' successfully boarded the two distressed individuals and began its journey back to Brest, where 'Lady Nirvana' had set sail just a day prior on July 7. An urgent notice was subsequently issued to mariners regarding the abandoned yacht, ensuring the safety of all vessels navigating the area.
