On November 25, 2019, a maritime accident occurred in the picturesque estuary of Ría de Vigo involving the wooden fishing vessel 'Romo 2' and the larger vessel 'Intermares'. The incident took place at approximately 8:25 a.m. near the island of Toralla, resulting in the sinking of the 'Romo 2' in waters reaching a depth of 30 meters.

They were subsequently brought to the Laxe dock in the Port of Vigo, where they received necessary treatment for hypothermia at a local hospital. The 'Intermares' successfully returned to dock in Vigo around 9:40 a.m., concluding a tense morning of emergency response and rescue.
