102 migrants rescued alive, ten year old girl and two women died
On the morning of Sep 28, a migrant boat was reported departing from Blériot Plage, and the 'Ridens' was dispatched by the CROSS Gris-Nez to monitor the situation. In response to a request for assistance from the boat's occupants, the rescue ship immediately rescued all 105 migrants directly from the boat. The CROSS Gris-Nez then also deployed the 'VB Abeille Normandie' and the PSP 'Pluvier' as reinforcements. Three people requiring urgent medical attention were immediately taken into care. A team from the Maritime Emergency and Resuscitation Service (SMUR) was then transported aboard the 'Ridens' by the French Navy's Dauphin helicopter based in Le Touquet. Upon arrival, the team confirmed the deaths of the three individuals—a 10-year-old child and two women. A team of four rescuers from SDIS 62 as well as two crew members from the 'Abeille Normandie' were also deployed to the 'Ridens' to help with the care of the rescued boat people.
22 migrants rescued in numerous responses
On Aug 8 and 9, 2026, several departures of migrant boats off the coast of Seine-Maritime were reported to the CROSS Jobourg and CROSS Gris-Nez. On the morning of Aug 8, 2026, the CROSS Jobourg was notified by a witness of a boat departing off the coast of Antifer and relayed the information to the CROSS Gris-Nez, which deployed the VCSM 'Oyapock' and the RIB 'Trou au Quin - 6-014' from the SNSM station Fécamp to monitor the situation. The migrant boat repeatedly broke down along its route, prompting the 'Oyapock' to deploy its EDO to offer assistance to the migrants, who refused it. Shortly after midnight on Aug 9, the CROSS Gris-Nez deployed the BSAA 'Argonaute' to assist the 'Oyapock'. A few hours later, in response to a request for assistance from those on board, the 'Oyapock' launched its EDO again and took on board the 20 occupants, who were transferred to the 'Argonaute' and disembarked at Boulogne-sur-Mer. Later that morning, the CROSS Gris-Nez was notified of a migrant boat off the coast of the Paluel nuclear power plant and dispatched the lifeboat 'Commandant Chandelier II - SNS 224' from the SNSMstation in Saint-Valery-en-Caux, which came to the aid of the vessel. During the vessel's recovery, the CROSS successively dispatched the lifeboat 'Président J-C Fortini -SNS 209' from the SNSM station in Le Tréport, the VB 'Abeille Normandie', resources from the Departmental Fire and Rescue Operations Center (CODIS) 62 (a personal watercraft and a light rescue boat (BLS), and finally the lifeboat 'Notre Dame Des Sables - SNS 7-034' from the SNSM station in Berck. During a boarding attempt at Berck beach, 30 migrants became cut off by the tide and were rescued by sea and land resources, while their boat, now carrying 232 people, continued its voyage. Now the 'Minck' was deployed by the CROSS Gris-Nez to reinforce the rescue operation. At the end of the day, two occupants from the boat requested assistance and were taken aboard the 'Abeille Normandie'. The migrant boat continued on its way and was subsequently taken into British care. The two people, who were rescued by the emergency tug, disembarked in Calais on the morning of August 10.
97 migrants rescued in two operations
On July 21, two migrant boats were reported to the CROSS Gris-Nez in the Pas-de-Calais region. To monitor them and provide assistance to their occupants if necessary, the following resources were deployed: the 'Minck'; the PSP 'Flamant'; the PSP 'Cormoran'; two ambulances and three reconnaissance and rescue vessels from the Pas-de-Calais Departmental Fire and Rescue Operations Center (CODIS 62); the customs helicopter EC 135; the RIAS 'VB Abeille Normandie' and a land patrol from the gendarmerie. On the morning of July 21, one boat was reported in the Le Touquet area. The CROSS tasked the 'Minck' and the PSP 'Flamant' to locate it and rescue its occupants, if necessary. The customs helicopter was also deployed to maintain visual contact with the boat. During the crossing, the boat suffered engine failure. The 'Minck' launched its operational rescue boat to assist the 88 people on board, who were then disembarked at the port of Boulogne-sur-Mer. Two of thm were injured and received medical attention on land. The empty boat was taken in tow by the 'VB Abeille Normandie'. On the afternoon of July 21, a second boat was reported to CROSS Gris-Nez in the Mont Saint-Frieux area. The CODIS 62 deployed its ambulances and rescue vehicles to assist the migrants during a chaotic embarkation. The PSP 'Cormoran' was also deployed to monitor the boat. Shortly after it left the beach, six people fell into the water and were rescued by the 'Cormoran's rescue boat. During the crossing, three other people accepted the offer of assistance. All nine were then disembarked at the port of Boulogne-sur-Mer.
