In a notable maritime rescue operation on August 17, 2023, the cargo vessel 'Seher S', sailing from Alexandria to Newport, UK, alerted Salvamento Marítimo about a distressed boat located 59 nautical miles southeast of Cartagena. Responding swiftly, the CCS Cartagena dispatched the search and rescue boat 'Salvamar Draco' to the scene, where they successfully retrieved 15 migrants. Further efforts led to a Frontex aircraft spotting another vessel approximately 46 miles away, enabling 'Salvamar Draco' to rescue an additional 15 individuals. Altogether, the operation saw 30 migrants safely transported to Cartagena for the necessary assistance.

A vessel is currently under tow and is expected to reach Leixões on March 29, 2013. Stay updated for further developments regarding this maritime operation.
