TROTAMAR III – CREW DEPLOYMENT 7/24
Our new crew has arrived in Licata and is already preparing intensively for the upcoming deployment. Together with Matthias from the CompassCollective Clara, Helena, Johannes, Rosy and Till will be supporting the civilian sea rescue in the central Mediterranean Sea over the next few weeks.
The crew has already completed a dinghy training in the harbor basin of Licata and has also practiced rescuing a person from the water. Yesterday, the crew sailed out to sea for the first time with the Trotamar III, to familiarize themselves with the manoeuvres on board and the ship.
