The 'Methoni', en route from Miami to Veracruz, along with the US Coast Guard rescued 19 Cubans on Dec 31, 2021, approximately 33 miles southeast of Alligator Reef Lighthouse near Islamorada, Florida. The 'Methoni' contacted Sector Key West Command Center watchstanders at 1:40 p.m. reporting they launched their life boat to assist in recovering people from the water. One of the survivors stated to the Methoni crew there were 19 people on their raft before it flipped over. All 19 people were rescued by the container ship. One person required a higher level of medical care, and an Air Station Miami MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew hoisted and transferred the person ashore to local emergency medical technicians for further transfer to Fisherman’s Hospital in Marathon. The Coast Guard Cutter 'Charles Sexton' transferred the remaining 18 people aboard, and they were expected to be returned to their country of origin.
