A sailboat runs aground in Órzola

A sailboat ran aground on the low breakwater of the Órzola dock at approximately 09:45 this Friday. Fortunately, no crew members of the boat have fallen into the water.

Following the activation of the alert, Maritime Rescue and members of Emerlan have arrived at the scene. Eventually, the sailboat managed to leave on its own, although Maritime Rescue continued to monitor it through the Automatic Identification System (AIS).

Emerlan members have used a rescuer on land and a boat in the harbor. They have been able to recover several objects from the sailboat that have fallen into the water, such as vests and a beacon.
