Njm-Al-Shamal Vessel Reviews and Specifications

The crew members aboard the Njm Al Shama are currently under scrutiny in Agadir following the tragic sinking of the Miss Dakar 2. This incident, which occurred on March 25, has escalated into a multifaceted international legal inquiry aimed at uncovering the circumstances surrounding the collision. AIS data indicates that instead of aiding the survivors of Miss Dakar 2, the Njm Al Shama proceeded to sail northward without activating any rescue protocols. For nearly two days, the longliner navigated the waters near Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, suggesting that the captain was attempting to seek refuge in Spanish waters in an effort to circumvent direct oversight from the Royal Moroccan Navy. The captain was subsequently transferred to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria under the guise of a medical emergency, prior to the ship being intercepted on March 27. This sequence of events hints at a possible strategic maneuver to evade accountability for the incident in Morocco. During the vessel’s escort to Agadir, Moroccan authorities discovered crucial evidence which could play a pivotal role in the case. This included recent abrasions and dents on the ship's starboard side, alongside fresh paint marks that may have been applied in an attempt to conceal the damage from the collision. Currently, six crew members are in custody, facing grave charges, including failure to assist those in peril and manslaughter. Meanwhile, cooperation between Spanish and Moroccan search and rescue operations remains ongoing, focusing on locating missing individuals and determining the legal implications for the captain, who is still in Spain as international legal proceedings progress.

On March 27, 2026, the Royal Libyan Navy took action against the 'Njm Al Shamal' near tan-Tan, suspecting it had been involved in a fatal collision with the fishing vessel 'Miss Dakar 2'. The tragic incident occurred about 80 miles off the Dakhla coast on March 25, leading to the sinking of the 'Miss Dakar 2' and the need for rescue operations. After the collision, the 'Njm Al Shamal' drastically reduced its speed to four knots near El Marsa, Western Sahara, before veering north into Spanish territorial waters near Fuerteventura. The vessel paused near Costa Calma before heading back into international waters, where it was ultimately intercepted. On March 28, the ship was escorted into Agadir under the control of Moroccan authorities. Upon arrival, the hull of the 'Njm Al Shamal' displayed noticeable abrasions and signs of recent paintwork on its starboard side. The vessel’s crew initially consisted of seven individuals; however, only six were present when it docked at the port. Reports indicate that the captain had been evacuated to Las Palmas prior to the interception, citing illness as the reason. This has raised suspicions that the evacuation might have been a tactic to evade immediate scrutiny or possible detention amid ongoing investigations into the incident. In a race against time, rescue teams managed to save eight of the thirteen crew members from the ill-fated 'Miss Dakar 2', while efforts persist to locate the five fishermen still missing. In response to the situation, Libyan authorities have initiated an investigation to clarify the details surrounding the collision. As of now, no official statement has been released from involved authorities, including the Ministry of Marine Wealth and Fisheries, regarding the incident or the status of the detained vessel.
