AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoMaritime Safety: A coordinated multinational rescue in the Eastern Caribbean ended well when an overdue 45-foot sailing catamaran, Ocean Time, was found about 11 nautical miles west of Sint Maarten and its 58-year-old skipper was safely recovered after a steering casualty. Regional Coordination: The U.S. Coast Guard aircrew spotted the man using the emergency tiller, then Dutch and French rescue units joined in; the Dutch Coast Guard towed the vessel to Simpson Bay and confirmed no medical concerns. Martinique Link in Response: In a separate case, a fishing vessel drifting without fuel sent mayday calls; family searched locally, a tanker spotted the boat, and the location was relayed to the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre in Fort-de-France, Martinique, before Dutch Coast Guard units towed the vessel to Sint Maarten with both occupants reported in good health.
