On July 23, 2024, the LNG Borno, a tanker journeying from Portugal to Nigeria, played a vital role in rescuing a group of 140 migrants stranded on a small boat in treacherous waters. The vessel was identified 222 kilometers south of Gran Canaria, with its passengers comprising 20 women and two children, all hailing from sub-Saharan Africa. The tanker’s captain, facing challenging sea conditions marked by strong winds and turbulent waves, was directed to maintain visual contact with the distressed canoe until a dedicated rescue unit could reach them. At approximately 2:10 PM, the Guardamar Calíope successfully rescued all individuals aboard the migrant vessel and began its return to the port of Arguineguín, with an estimated arrival time of 10:00 PM.
