The Tulip: Crew Feedback and Vessel Data

On February 15, 2026, in a critical incident during its journey from Cartagena to Beirut, the cargo ship 'Tulip' made an urgent appeal for the medical evacuation of two of its crew members who had sustained injuries. Responding promptly, a pilot boat successfully approached the vessel and facilitated the transfer of the injured sailors. They were then swiftly moved to the SAR boat 'Salvamar Draco', which rapidly navigated back to Cartagena. There, an ambulance was on standby to transport the crew members to a hospital for urgent medical care. This well-coordinated operation was managed by the CCS of Salvamento Marítimo in Cartagena, showcasing effective emergency response protocols at sea.
