129 migrants rescued, one dead
Due to relatively favourable weather conditions, numerous migrant vessels have been monitored by the CROSS Gris-Nez and CROSS Jobourg since Sep 21. 129 people facing imminent danger have been rescued and brought to safety by rescue assets coordinated by the CROSS centers. One person also died, possibly during an incident involving boarding an inflatable boat. On the evening of Sep 21, two people in the water were rescued by the RHIB 'Dominique Semaine-SNS 7002' of the Ouistreham SNSM, while the CROSS Jobourg was monitoring a vessel that had departed from the Port-en-Bessin area. The survivors were handed over to SDIS emergency services upon reaching shore. Subsequently, early on the morning of Sep 22, a migrant vessel reported a propulsion failure to CROSS Gris-Nez in the Étaples area (Pas-de-Calais). CROSS then deployed the 'Minck' to assist the 102 people on board. They were subsequently brought ashore at the port of Boulogne to be attended to by the authorities. During the night of Sep 22 , five people in distress on the beach—following an attempted departure between Hardelot and Equihen—were assisted by SDIS emergency teams. Among them were a pregnant woman and two individuals suffering from hypothermia; the latter were transferred to the hospital in Boulogne-sur-Mer. The same night, 20 people were rescued by the Spanish Guardia Civil patrol vessel 'Duque de Ahumada'—operating under the orders of the Maritime Prefect off the coast of Dieppe—after their boat began taking on water. The CROSS Gris-Nez deployed the all-weather lifeboat 'SNS 080-Notre Dame de Bonsecours' from the Dieppe SNSM station to pick up the 20 individuals and bring them to the port of Dieppe, where they were taken into the care of shore-based authorities. Finally, on the morning of Sep 23, a body was discovered on the beach at Hardelot. The Gendarmerie has opened an investigation to determine the circumstances of the death.
Rescue operation off Cap Fagnet
In the night of June 18, 2022, a pleasure boat reported an engine failure to the CROSS Gris-Nez which deployed the lifeboat from the SNSM station in Cap-Fagnet and the Dauphin helicopter from the French Navy base in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, while the National Navy semaphore of Fécamp indicated to have a visual on the drifting ship. Taking the ship in tow or recoveriong the two yachtsmen proved impossible due to the degraded weather conditions, with waves of 3,50 meters height. After the boat from Cap-Fagnet got its propeller fouled during the rescue opeations, the 'Notre Dame de Bonsecours' of the SNSM station in Dieppe was then engaged by the CROSS to join the operation area in turn. A crew member from the boat of the station Cap-Fagnet managed to board the pleasure boat, but without the possibility of securing it. In view of the difficult weather conditions, it was decided to hoist the two people and the SNSM crew member on board the Dauphin helicopter. Following consultation with the SAMU of Le Havre , the two yachtsmen and the SNSM crew member, in a state of hypothermia, were dropped off at the Monod hospital in Le Havre. The lifeboats were able to reach their respective ports.
