Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Muazzez-K

On the evening of June 21, 2025, a significant maritime rescue unfolded as the cargo vessel 'Muazezz K', navigating from Abu Qir to Koper, successfully saved 501 migrants stranded on a distressed fishing boat located 49 nautical miles south of Crete. The Greek Coastguard promptly alerted the Port Authorities of Agia Galini, Kala Limeni, Kokkinos Pyrgos, and Paleochora, and dispatched a patrol boat along with the offshore ship 'Path', a Navy frigate, and three nearby vessels to provide assistance. Once the fishing vessel was located, the 'Muazezz K' took action alongside the patrol boat and lifeboat to rescue the migrants. The operation culminated in the safe transportation of the rescued individuals to Messara Bay anchorage, where they were transferred to various rescue resources and eventually taken to the port of Agia Galini. Upon arrival, the migrants were moved to a temporary accommodation facility in Rethymno, under the supervision of Coastguard officers. A preliminary investigation conducted by the Rethymno Port Authority, cooperating with the Directorate of Security and Protection of Maritime Borders, led to the identification and arrest of four Egyptian nationals, aged 20, 21, 21, and 36. They were charged with violating multiple legal statutes, including Article 83 of Law 3386/2005 regarding illegal entry, Article 25 of Law 5038/2023 related to facilitation, Article 45 of the Criminal Code regarding aid, and Article 306 of the Criminal Code concerning endangerment. Survivors reported that their perilous journey commenced on the night of June 20, departing from the coast of Tobruk, Libya. The Directorate of Security and Protection of Maritime Borders, working closely with the Port Authority of Rethymno, continues to analyze the situation thoroughly. Investigations are underway to probe the extent of the organization’s activities and their potential connections with other criminal enterprises involved in similar operations.
