Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Sibilla

On May 25, 2019, at approximately 7:20 p.m., the ferry 'Sibilla', which operates the Milazzo-Messina-Carloforte service, encountered significant engine trouble while navigating near the coast of Vulcano. The vessel had departed Milazzo at 5:30 p.m. for the scenic Aeolian Islands when it experienced a mechanical failure close to Capo Milazzo. A tugboat was promptly dispatched to assist in towing the disabled ferry back to port. Fortunately, the calm sea conditions helped ensure a smooth rescue operation. After roughly four hours, the 50 passengers onboard were successfully transferred to the ferry 'Lipoi', which set sail shortly after 8 p.m., albeit arriving at their destination later than scheduled. Following repairs, the 'Sibilla' resumed its regular operations, leaving the port once again on May 27 at 5:45 p.m., and made its way to Lipari, where it docked at 8 p.m. the same evening.
