On Aug 3, the CROSS Gris-Nez was alerted to the departure of a migrant vessel near Veules-les-Roses. The SNSM station in Dieppe, along with the 'Argonaute' and later the 'Minck', were deployed to monitor the boat's crossing throughout the day and night of August 3-4. While monitoring the situation, five people on board the boat required to be rescued and were taken aboard the 'SNS 076' from Boulogne-sur-Mer and brought back to port in Boulogne.The remaining people on board refused the assistance offered by the French rescue services. On the morning of Aug 4, while still in a French rescue zone, near the British rescue zone, its engine caught fire, and the vessel's integrity deteriorated rapidly. The CROSS immediately broadcast a Mayday relay message and deployed available resources to the area to rescue the shipwrecked migrants, consisting of the 'Minck' and its RIB, the 'Argonaute', a Dauphin helicopter from the 35F flotilla detachment based in Le Touquet, the lifeboat 'RNLI 14-02' from the station in Eastbourne, the British Border Force vessels 'BSC Contender' and 'BSC Courageous' and a team of two paramedics from the SAMU 62 in Boulogne-sur-Mer. The 'ESMP 03' was also deployed by CENTOPS. At the end of the rescue operation, a total of 173 people were rescued, using the following resources: five people by the 'SNS 076' during the night and again in the morning; 30 people by the BSAA 'Argonaute'; 75 by the 'Minck'; 63 people were on British vessels. All castaways were transferred to the 'BSC Contender' and disembarked at Boulogne-sur-Mer to be taken care of ashore by the rescue services on Aug 4 at 12:30 p.m.

On July 29 and 30, 2026, several migrant boats were reported to the CROSS Gris-Nez. To monitor the boats and provide assistance to their occupants if necessary, the following resources were deployed: the VCSM 'Aber Ildut'; the PSP 'Flamant'; the PSP 'Cormoran'; resources from the Pas-de-Calais Fire and Rescue Service (SDIS 62); the French Navy's Rescue Guepard Whiskey helicopter based in Le Touquet; a team from the Mobile Emergency and Resuscitation Unit (SMUR); the 'Ridens'; the 'ESMP 04'; the lifeboat 'SNS 080 - Notre-Dame de Bonsecours' from the SNSM station in Dieppe. On the morning of July 29, the CROSS deployed the 'Cormoran' to monitor a migrant vessel in the Fort-Mahon area (Somme department). Resources from the SDIS 62 were also deployed in support. During the attempted crossing, six people were rescued by the 'Cormoran', including one person with burns. The Maritime Medical Coordination Center (SCMM) in Le Havre recommended a medical evacuation, and the helicopter Rescue Guepard Whiskey was then dispatched. The victim was hoisted and transported to the hospital in Boulogne-sur-Mer. The five other rescued migrants were disembarked in Boulogne-sur-Mer, where a rescue and victim assistance vehicle was present. The same morning, a migrant boat was reported to CROSS Gris-Nez near Onival. The CROSS then dispatched the 'Aber Ildut' as well as the 'Flamant' to locate and monitor the boat . During the boarding process, the VCSM rescued two people. Later, the 'Flamant' rescued three more, who were then disembarked for care on Hardelot beach. The same day, the Leffrinckoucke lifeguard station reported a migrant boat to the CROSS Gris-Nez. The CROSS then dispatched the 'Ridens' to monitor the boat. The Maritime Gendarmerie's 'ESMP 04' was also involved in the embarkation phase and rescued a minor, who was separated from the parents, who had remained on land. The minor was then taken into the care of the land-based rescue services. The same morning, a migrant boat was reported departing from the Saint-Aubin-sur-Mer area. During the day, the CROSS Gris-Nez successively deployed the 'SNS 080-Notre-Dame de Bonsecours' and the 'Minck' to monitor the situation. OIn the evening, the boat was located near Sainte-Cécile, where it was preparing to embark a group of people from the beach. The CROSS Gris-Nez deployed resources from the SDIS 62 and the Rescue Guepard Whiskey helicopter to the area for surveillance. All those involved in the attempted crossing were taken into the care of the land-based rescue services. One person died. On July 30, 19 people rescued, while three people died at sea. After the discovery and care of the three unconscious individuals, who were pronounced dead on land, the EDO of the 'Minck' took on board 19 people, who were disembarked at the port of Dunkirk. On July 31, 2026, several migrant boats were reported to the CROSS Gris-Nez Regional Operational Surveillance and Rescue Center (CROSS) in the Pas-de-Calais. To monitor them, the following resources were deployed by CROSS Gris-Nez: the 'Minck' and RIB; the 'SNS 076-Président Jacques Huret' from the SNSM station in Boulogne-sur-Mer the RIB 'SNS 6295-Président Jacques Lebrun' from the SNSM station in Boulogne-sur-Mer; a land patrol by the Gendarmerie. On the early afternoon, a boat was reported to CROSS Gris-Nez off the Crabe bunker in the Ecault dunes area. The CROSS deployed the 'Minck' and the 'SNS 076' to locate the vessel and monitor it. During the crossing, the sea conditions deteriorated, as did the condition of the precarious boat on which the migrants had embarked. The 'Minck' then moved beyond its SAR area to come into close proximity to the boat, supporting the lifeboat 'SNS 076'. The latter initially rescued two people who had fallen overboard. The 'SNS 6295' reinforced the monitoring of the boat, which was threatening to break apart and was experiencing several engine failures. Despite this, the boat continued on its way, refusing the assistance offered by the maritime rescue services dispatched by the CROSS. A further engine failure, however, prompted several migrants to accept the rescue, while a near-sinking was averted due to the slow disintegration of the vessel. All available resources on site reacted immediately to rescue the migrants. The 78 people on board were taken aboard the RIBs and transferred to the 'Minck' which disembarked them at the port of Boulogne-sur-Mer. The SNSM cleared the area of the shipwreck.
