In the night between July 4th and 5th, the Ocean Viking performed a rescue operation of a large wooden boat in distress in the Libyan Search and Rescue Region: 369 people, including 116 minors were safely brought onboard Ocean Viking in a 5h30-long operation.

Stuck in port. The industrial docks in Augusta, Sicily, flanked the ennui on the Ocean Viking.

After having disembarked 236 survivors in Augusta, Sicily, at the beginning of May, the Ocean Viking arrived in a shipyard in Naples on May 25. The ship will undergo mandatory regular maintenance work before going back to sea. Stéphane, maritime manager for SOS MEDITERRANEE, tells us more about it.

Do you remember that special feeling when you were little, hanging out on the couch and watching a movie like „The Perfect Storm“?

Testimony by Alessandro, Search and Rescue team member on the Ocean Viking.

Working on a rescue ship in the central Mediterranean means working in emergency response.
