SAR boat tasked to sinking yacht
The sailing vessel 'Geminis' went adrift near the rocks in the El Musel port in Aug 22. The CCS of Salvamento Marítimo in Gijón asked the crew to drop anchor to avoid running aground. They replied that the boat was already hitting the rocks, and that they have jumped onto the rocks to try to prevent it from crashing against them; but that wind and waves were making the task difficult. Tge controllers mobilised the 'Salvamar Rigel' and the LS 'Gijón' and diverted the SAR helicopter Helimer 207, which was on a scheduled exercise, to verify the situation. The 'Salvamar Rigel', once in the area, confirmed that the crew members were safe, and subsequently reported the sinking of the sailing vessel. They proceeded to collect floating objects and mark the wreck. The castaways were able to leave the breakwater unassisted. Report with video: https://x.com/salvamentogob/status/2091167919275180412

On May 14, 2025, at 6.15 a.m., the Spanish fishing vessel 'Nuevo Mariña', measuring 8.76 meters in length, caught fire more than three nautical miles off Monte Louro with two crew members on board. The twin brothers, Santiago (vice-captain of the Fisterra guild) and Alberto Castro Romero.were rescued by anoteher fishing vessel, the 'La Chainza' from Porto do Son, and transferred onto the 'Salvamar Régulus', which had been mobilized by the CCS Finisterre of Salvamento Marítimo, and which coordinated the response. It took them to Porto do Son. Alberto suffered burns to his face and hands and was transported by helicopter to the University Hospital Complex of A Coruña (CHUAC), where he remained in the Burns Unit. Santiago, the vessel's owner, was taken to Barbanza Hospital but has since been released with minor injuries. According to the owner, everything went very quickly. He was in bed and his brother saw a puff of smoke coming out of the engine. They barely had time to launch the liferaft, because the fire was already spreading all over the ship. The patrol boat 'Mar de Galicia' (MMSI: 9905045) of the Coastguard carried out fire extinguishing operations, but finally reported that the fiberglass boat had sunk. Besides the Galician Health Emergency Service-061, Salvamento Marítimo, the Galician Coast Guard Service and agents from the Civil Guard participated in the rescue operation. The cause of the fire was unknown, but the hypothesis of a short circuit was being considered.
