Reviews & Ratings for the Phoenix-Admiral

On September 14, 2014, the 'Phoenix Admiral', sailing from Trieste to Ceyhan, played a crucial role in a dramatic rescue mission involving 31 refugees. The operation was initially sparked by a distress call from the cargo vessel 'GSP Pegasus', which located a drifting boat approximately 60 nautical miles southeast of Karpathos Island at around 11 p.m. The small craft was adrift due to an engine failure, carrying primarily women and children of uncertain nationality. The 'GSP Pegasus' quickly established communications with Greek authorities and NATO while rendering assistance to the vulnerable passengers. As the situation unfolded, the 'Phoenix Admiral' and the container ship 'Nicolas A' arrived to offer additional support. Following the directives from Greek authorities, all 31 refugees were safely transferred to the 'Nicolas A', which then set course for Rhodes. The successful maritime rescue concluded at 3:30 a.m. on September 15, with the 'GSP Pegasus' resuming its voyage to Constanta, reaching its destination by September 17. Meanwhile, the 'Phoenix Admiral' docked in Ceyhan at 11:40 p.m. on September 16, after completing its humanitarian assistance efforts.
