On April 8, 2014, the crew of the 'Nord Farer' responded to a critical distress call from the MRCC Rome while navigating towards Aliaga. They were alerted to the plight of three inflatable boats carrying migrants in perilous conditions. Without hesitation, the crew initiated a rescue operation, successfully transporting all 301 migrants aboard their tanker, providing them with improvised food and shelter during this challenging situation. Tragically, one individual lost his life before the tanker could reach the scene. Following the rescue, the 'Nord Farer' was instructed to head to the port of Catania in Sicily, where the rescued individuals were able to disembark safely under the cover of night, before the tanker resumed its voyage to Aliaga.
