Fishing vessel damaged in collision
On the evening of Jan 5, 2026, the CROSS Gris-Nez was notified of the collision between the 'Vauban' with the fishing vessel 'Patron Jean Tabourel' (IMO 9871933), off the coast of Fécamp. While the vessel that initiated the collision had remained undamaged, the 'Vauban' had sufffered a significant and difficult-to-control leak on its port side bow at the height of the waterline and requested assistance. The CROSS then mobilised a Dauphin helicopter of the Navy base in Le Touquet and the lifeboat 'SNS 089-Cap Fagnet' (MMSI: 227003620) from the SNSM station in Fécamp, to evacuate the crew and deploy the pumps on board the vessel. Once the helicopter arrived on scene, three of the six crew members of the 'Vauban' were hoisted aboard and transferred to the vessel that had initiated the collision, while the rest of the crew attempted to control the leak, using the fire pumps. Approximately one hour later, two crew members of the lifeboat were dropped offaboard the fishing vessel to provide medical assistance to two of the three fishermen who had remained on board and were now suffering from smoke inhalation from the pumps. A conference call was held with the Maritime Medical Coordination Center in Le Havre, which determined that their improving condition did not require a medical evacuation. Following discussions between the Maritime Prefecture, the CROSS and the shipowner, the decision was made to tow the vessel to the port of Fécamp for immediate shelter and to carry out initial repairs. The 'Vauban' completed its transit in the middle of the night. Once alongside the quay, the fire brigade of Seine-Maritime provided further assistance to control the leak and attend to the crew members.
