Dear Sir(s):

It is our desire to show you our most sincere gratitude for the humanity and professionalism of the Captain and crew of your vessel “CLARABELLE ” thanks to whom one person have been rescued today in the Spanish responsibility SAR waters.

This Rescue Coordination Centre was informed about the sighting of a swimming person at 14:27 UTC, at 8nm from NE Ceuta.  Immediately we require to give assistance or wait near the person until our rescue boat can reach the position. The Captain agreed to approach the person in trouble keeping stand-by to give assistance until the rescue boat arrives. At 15:32 UTC the operation was completed with success and the M/V CLARABELLE  could resume her voyage.

We expect that you, as the owner, can transmit our gratitude to the Captain and crew of the vessel mentioned above.   

Best regards

CCS Tarifa (MRCC-Tarifa)
