Neglected ferry sank at its longtime berth
On Nov 9, 2026, the 'Sergio Gracia' (also identified as Sergio Gracia Aguilar), which had been out of service since 2018, was found partially submerged at one of the concrete docks of the Quintana Roo Integral Port Administration (APIQROO) terminal in Isla Mujeres. The incident caused a hydrocarbon leak and triggered a large-scale mobilisation of emergency services, put environmental authorities on alert due to the imminent risk of a disaster in the bay. Members of the Mexican Navy (Semar), the Port Authority, and municipal Civil Protection deployed to the site to address the incident. Given the threat of contamination to the seabed from the fuel spill, personnel from the Federal Attorney's Office for Environmental Protection (PROFEPA) intervened directly in the area. Efforts were successfully made to recover and contain the fuel. The vessel had been moored for years alongside the ferry 'Isla Blanca' in a state of obvious disrepair. PROFEPA did not officially detailed the precise causes of the structural collapse. The main demand from the community and environmental authorities is now focused on requiring the prompt removal of the wreck and its relocation to a safe site that did not pose a permanent threat to the seabed off Isla Mujeres.
