RESQSHIP

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

RESQSHIP is a German charity based in Hamburg, with further branches in Freiburg, Mainz and Augsburg,[1] founded in 2017.[2]

The Non-Governmental Organisation has been operating the 14m sailing yacht [3] primarily to observe and monitor the situation off the Libyan coast.[4][5] However, on occasion the Josefa has been in such a position as to need to carry out rescues herself. Typically, as she is a relatively small yacht, in such cases onward transfer to a larger vessel is arranged as soon as possible.[6][7] Josefa is named for a woman rescued from the sea by the NGO Proactiva Open Arms.[8]

According to RESQSHIP, during 2019, the Josefa carried out nine rescue missions.[9]

In May 2021 Josefa was replaced with a newer and larger (18m) ketch, the .[9][2] Resqship resumed operations in June 2021[3] with the Nadir.[10][11]
