Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Lisca-Nera-M

In a remarkable display of humanitarian effort, three patrol vessels of the Armed Forces of Malta successfully brought ashore 246 migrants after an extensive rescue operation. This operation unfolded over several hours, culminating in the safe disembarkation of the individuals, which included 48 women and seven children, at Hay Wharf Base around 10 PM. The Armed Forces of Malta had been tirelessly engaged in addressing a distress call regarding a large fishing vessel believed to be carrying the migrants. Upon spotting the vessel, an AFM aircraft reached out to the nearby merchant ship, the motor tanker MT Lisca Nera M, requesting its captain to reroute to the distressed migrant craft's location to evaluate the situation. This collaboration highlights the essential role played by maritime vessels in humanitarian rescues at sea.
