Michigan-Highway Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On November 13, 2014, a heroic rescue operation unfolded in the Atlantic Ocean as the car carrier 'Michigan Highway' came to the aid of the yacht 'Hunter', successfully saving its four crew members. The distress call was raised after the 'Hunter' encountered serious rudder issues, prompting an emergency alert to the Maritime Rescue Coordination Center Delgada (MRCC Delgada) in Portugal. Responding swiftly to the urgent request, the 'Michigan Highway' departed from Baltimore and navigated directly to the yacht's location. After a successful rescue, the crew was safely transferred and disembarked at the port of Livorno on November 20.
