On the evening of September 5, 2024, a critical operation unfolded off the coast of Thira when the Greek Coast Guard sought assistance from the local Port Authority for a distressed vessel located 12 nautical miles south of Anafi. Responding swiftly, a patrol vessel, alongside the passenger boat 'Melina' and the cargo ship 'Summer Sea', which was navigating from Maentyluoto to Iskenderun, made their way to the scene. During their search, a Polish sailing vessel was identified, prompting the 'Melina' to come alongside and rescue four individuals, consisting of 23 men, 3 women, and 17 minors. After safely transporting them to the port of Thira, the port authorities conducted a thorough disembarkation.

Additionally, the vessel linked to the traffickers was subsequently confiscated, highlighting the ongoing battle against human trafficking in the region.
