Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Margarita-Salas

A tragic incident unfolded on the evening of November 20, 2025, in Menorca, a picturesque island neighboring Mallorca, where a 67-year-old man lost his life after a devastating accident. The individual had just disembarked from the Baleària ferry, ‘Margarita Salas’, at the Ciutadella port. After traveling between Alcúdia and Barcelona, he exited the vessel at the west quayside, only to inadvertently steer his car into the harbour basin at the east quayside while waiting at the Son Blanc exit. Upon noticing the alarming event, several courageous crew members from the ferry company swiftly jumped into the water to assist the man, while emergency services were immediately notified. Tragically, their rescue efforts were unable to reach him in time. Despite attempts at resuscitation lasting approximately 45 minutes after his body was recovered and brought to the quay, officials regrettably confirmed the man's passing. The operation also saw the involvement of firefighters and ambulances from the SAMU 061 rescue service, all responding to the incident that cast a shadow over the typically serene atmosphere of the area.
