Crew held in Agadir with investigations continued in Span and Morocco
The crew of the 'Njm Al Shama' remained under surveillance in Agadir after the sinking of the 'Miss Dakar 2'. The accident investigation has become a complex international legal case to clarify what happened. According to AIS records, the crew of the 'Njm Al Shamal' did not activate rescue protocols or provide assistance to the survivors of the 'Miss Dakar 2' after the collision on March 25, but instead headed northwards. For almost 48 hours, the longliner sought refuge in Canary Island waters near the island of Fuerteventura, indicating that the ship's captain was seeking the protection of Spanish territorial waters to avoid the direct jurisdiction of the Royal Moroccan Navy. Under the pretext of a supposed medical emergency, the captain was transferred to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, before the ship was intercepted on MArch 27. This suggested a deliberate attempt to evade direct criminal responsibility in Morocco for the accident. During the escort to Agadir, Morocco found evidence that could prove crucial, including recent scratches and dents on the starboard side, as well as fresh paint stains, which may have been applied during the escape to cover up the marks from the impact with the sunken fishing vessel. The Moroccan authorities were holding six crew members of the vessel in custody. They were facing serious charges of failure to render aid and manslaughter. The cooperation between Spanish and Moroccan rescue services remained active, both in the search for the bodies and in determining the legal responsibility of the captain, who remained in Spain, while international proceedings were underway.
Fishing vessel escorted to Agadir after suspected fatal collision
The Royal Libyan Navy intercepted the 'Njm Al Shamal' off tan-Tan on March 27, 2026, under the suspicion of having collided with the fishing vessel 'Miss Dakar 2', which sank about 80 miles off the coast of Dakhla on the morning of March 25, and fleeing the scene. The 'Njm Al Shamal' slowed suddenly to four knots off El Marsa, Western Sahara, then turned to the north and entered Spanish waters off Fuerteventura. After lingering off Costa Calma, the vessel continued its journey into international waters until it was intercepted. It arrived at Agadir under Moroccan custody on March 28. The hull of the 'Njm Al Shamal' was escorted to the port of Agadir. The ull showed abrasions and fresh paint at starboard side. The ship's crew consisted of seven people, although only six were on board when it arrived at the port. The ship's captain was evacuated to Las Palmas under the pretext of illness before. It was suspected that this move was used as a cover to avoid subjecting the man to immediate investigation procedures, or even his preventative detention, pending the completion of the judicial and maritime investigation. Rescue teams managed to save eight of the 13 crew members of the 'Miss Dakar 2' , while SAR operations continued for five missing fishermen. The Libyan authorities have launched an investigation to determine the circumstances of the incident. No official statement has yet been issued by the authorities, including the Ministry of Marine Wealth and Fisheries, regarding the incident or the detention of the vessel.
