Sailing against fortress Europe

The Wendland sends a Ship!

25.8.2023 – Leaving Licata

CompassCollective activists support the rescue of refugees in the Mediterranean. Our sailing boat TROTAMAR III is used for three-week observation deployments, during which we document human rights violations, keep an eye out for maritime emergencies and assist in rescue missions by larger (rescue) ships. In an emergency, we rescue.

We are a small group of activists from the Wendland, a region in Lower Saxony, Germany. After 40 years of fighting against a nuclear waste repository in Gorleben, we send our own boat with an international crew to support the sea rescue.

Our deployment dates for 2025 are here. We will go out nine times again to support people fleeing in distress at sea. You can find more information about sailing or supporting us here…
