Complete Maritime Profile & Reviews of Xin-A

In a remarkable display of maritime teamwork, Salvamento Maritimo successfully orchestrated the rescue of three fishermen on the night of August 3, 2024. The trio had found themselves stranded in a rubber boat after departing from La Restinga, located in the southern part of the Canary Islands, for a fishing expedition. The alarm was raised when a friend of the fishermen, who hadn’t heard from them in three days, grew increasingly concerned for their safety, suspecting they might be lost at sea. Responding quickly to the call, the maritime control center managed to establish contact with the stranded fishermen via satellite phone. They revealed their dire situation: unable to communicate for assistance due to a malfunctioning SOS button on their phone, which also lacked credit despite being charged. After pinpointing their location, nearly 600 km southwest of La Restinga, Salvamento Maritimo initiated a search for vessels in the vicinity. Their efforts paid off when the bulk carrier 'Xin An Ning' was redirected to the inflatable boat's coordinates. At 9:04 AM, the ship confirmed the successful rescue of all three individuals, who were reported to be in good health. The 'Xin An Ning' then resumed its journey towards the port of Río Haina, showcasing the importance of vigilance and prompt response in maritime safety. The entire operation stands as a testament to the power of collaboration on the high seas.
