نَجا سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ بَحّارًا مِنْ حادِثٍ خَطيرٍ بَعْدَ غَرَقِ مَرْكَبِ الصَّيْدِ السّاحِلِيِّ «صارَةَ 03» لَيْلَةَ الرّابِعِ وَالعِشْرينَ مِنْ يُولْيُوزَ، قُبالَةَ سَواحِلِ بُوجدورَ وَالدّاخِلَةِ فِي جَنوبِ المَغْرِبِ. وَكانَ المَرْكَبُ قادِمًا مِنْ ميناءِ طانطانَ، وَلَمْ يُسَجَّلْ أَيُّ فَقْدٍ فِي الأَرْواحِ.

وَقَعَ الحادِثُ نَحْوَ السّاعَةِ الحادِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلًا، وَكانَ البَحْرُ مُضْطَرِبًا وَالرِّياحُ قَوِيَّةً. وَلَمْ تَكُنْ أَسْبابُ غَرَقِ المَرْكَبِ مَعْروفَةً بَعْدُ. وَتُواجِهُ مَراكِبُ الصَّيْدِ ضُغوطًا كَبيرةً عِنْدَ ارْتِفاعِ الأَمْواجِ وَسُوءِ الأَحْوالِ الجَوِّيَّةِ.

تَلَقّى طاقَمُ سَفينَةِ الصَّيْدِ «أَزْهَرَ 5» نِداءَ اسْتِغاثَةٍ عَبْرَ القَناةِ السّادِسَةَ عَشْرَةَ. فَغَيَّرَ رُبّانُها مَسارَ السَّفينَةِ وَتَوَجَّهَ إِلى مَوْقِعِ المَرْكَبِ، رَغْمَ الأَمْواجِ وَالرِّياحِ. وَعَمِلَ الطّاقَمُ بِسُرْعَةٍ وَحَذَرٍ مِنْ أَجْلِ إِجْلاءِ البَحّارَةِ.

نُقِلَ جَميعُ البَحّارَةِ إِلى «أَزْهَرَ 5» بِأَمانٍ، ثُمَّ قُدِّمَتْ لَهُمْ إِسْعافاتٌ أَوَّلِيَّةٌ. وَأَبْلَغَ الطّاقَمُ السُّلُطاتِ البَحْرِيَّةَ بِنَجاحِ العَمَلِيَّةِ، ثُمَّ أَبْحَرَ بِالنّاجينَ نَحْوَ ميناءِ الدّاخِلَةِ. وَتُبَيِّنُ القِصَّةُ أَهَمِّيَّةَ التَّعاوُنِ وَسُرْعَةِ القَرارِ فِي البَحْرِ.

Sixteen Fishermen Rescued After Their Boat Sinks off Dakhla

Sixteen fishermen survived a dangerous incident after the coastal fishing boat Sara 03 sank on the night of July 24 off the coasts of Boujdour and Dakhla in southern Morocco. The boat had come from the port of Tan-Tan, and no lives were lost.

The incident happened at about eleven o’clock at night, when the sea was rough and the winds were strong. The reasons for the boat’s sinking were not yet known. Fishing boats face great pressure when waves rise and weather conditions are bad.

The crew of the fishing vessel Azhar 5 received a distress call on channel sixteen. Its captain changed the vessel’s course and headed to the boat’s location despite the waves and wind. The crew worked quickly and carefully to evacuate the fishermen.

All the fishermen were safely brought onto Azhar 5, and they then received first aid. The crew informed the maritime authorities that the operation had succeeded and sailed with the survivors toward Dakhla port. The story shows the importance of cooperation and quick decisions at sea.
