Discover the Princesa-Santa-Joana: Ratings & Maritime News

On the morning of December 28, 2024, the Portuguese trawler 'Santa Joana', carrying a crew of 39, safely docked at the port of Saint-Pierre. The vessel was towed by its fellow fishing boat, 'Santa Cristina', after facing significant challenges at sea. The two trawlers embarked on a seven-day journey to reach the remote archipelago following a severe propulsion failure that struck the 'Santa Joana' roughly 400 nautical miles offshore. Although a tug was initially summoned for assistance, it ultimately did not arrive on time. In the wake of this incident, divers from a specialized private company are expected to assess the situation shortly, aiming to extract the fishing trawl that has become lodged in the propeller of the 'Santa Joana' and evaluate the overall condition of the vessel's machinery.
