Sail training ship suffered propulsion failure
The 'Italia', with 26 people on board, suffered a propulsion failure on the night of March 29, 2026, off the coast of La Ciotat. The CROSS Med was alerted and quickly mobilised the teams from the SNSM station La Ciotat. The training schooner was drifting in challenging weather conditions, making the response difficult. A rigid inflatable boat and the lifeboat 'Bec de l'Aigle III-SNS 17-06' (MMSI: 228210760) were deployed to assist. Once on site, a towline was successfully passed south of the Île Verte. The towing operation then proceeded at a slow pace, in close coordination with the CROSS Med and the Bec de l'Aigle lighthouse (La Ciotat). Despite the adverse weather conditions, the ship was successfully secured at a mooring buoy. Once the mission was accomplished, the rescue teams returned to the port of La Ciotat to prepare their equipment and conduct a debriefing, concluding a successful operation without incident.
