Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Tomini-Levant

In a remarkable display of maritime heroism, the bulk carrier 'Tomini Levant' has successfully executed a search and rescue (SAR) operation in the Mediterranean, saving several individuals from a capsized motorboat near Algeria's coastline. The operation unfolded with the collaboration of the Algerian Coast Guard and Spanish rescue authorities. Upon spotting the distressed vessel, the vigilant crew promptly alerted the ship's master, who quickly notified the necessary maritime officials. The Algerian Coast Guard then directed the 'Tomini Levant' to navigate toward the site of the incident. As the vessel approached, the crew identified multiple individuals clinging to the overturned boat, and preparations for a coordinated rescue effort began alongside the Algerian authorities. Complicating the situation were turbulent weather conditions, characterized by strong winds and significant swells, which made initial rescue attempts particularly difficult. Despite these challenges, the crew deployed essential life-saving gear, such as lifebuoys and a life-throwing appliance, although first attempts to reach the survivors were unsuccessful. Assistance arrived from the air, as a Spanish rescue aircraft joined the mission, enhancing the coordination between sea and air efforts. Through persistence and teamwork, the crew of the 'Tomini Levant' successfully rescued two people from the treacherous waters and provided urgent medical care onboard. Not long after, the Algerian Coast Guard’s search and rescue vessel, 'Elmounkid 25', arrived to aid in the operation. Thanks to the combined efforts of all parties involved, every remaining survivor was safely retrieved from peril, having endured days without food, water, or essentials.
