Fishing vessel lost contact for one hour after initial mayday call

Thu Oct 16 12:10:16 CEST 2025 Timsen

The 'Fantôme des mers' issued a distress signal after having suffered a leak on Oct 13, 2025, at 11 p.m., which was received by the CROSS Étel. The fishing vessel was off the coast of Oléron Island at that time. The contact with the vessel was lost just after the distress signal was transmitted. The CROSS immediately launched an SAR operation and mobilized the Guepard Yankee helicopter, the French Navy's Dauphin based in La Rochelle, as well as another fishing vessel in the area. The 'Fantôme des mers' was relocated one hour later, and contact was then reestablished. The helicopter and the diverted fishing vessel remained close to the casualty. The crew managed to identify the source of the water ingress and undertake the necessary repairs. From La Cotinière, the lifeboat 'SNSM 17-03' was deployed and helped control the leakage and pump out the water. The 'Fantôme des mers' then returned to its home port La Cotinière, in the middle of the night, escorted by the 'SNSM 17-03'.
