Longliner rescued 19 fishermen
On March 17, 2025, the 'Avo Músico'' rescued the 19 crew members of the longliner 'Pico Tresmares', which had sunk in the South Pacific, approximately 1,000 miles west of La Serena, Chile, after a fire broke out in the vessel's engine room on the morning. It had spread rapidly and beyond control. The fishing vessel requested assistance from the RCC of Salvamento Marítimo in Madrid. The Chilean rescue was in charge of coordinating the SAR operation, which alerted vessels in the area during the stormy night. The 'Avo Músico' which was four sailing hours away, diverted to the scene. Upon arriving at the scene of the accident, the 19 crew members were in the life raft, in good condition despite heavy rain. The 'Avó Músico' arrived at the position at night and waited until dawn to see the situation of the 'Pico Tresmares', but the Celeiro longliner, attached to the Vigo Shipowners' Cooperative (ARVI), had already sunk. The castaways remained aboard the "Avo Músico" awaiting the transfer in the coming hours to another vessel belonging to the same company, the 'Illa Gaveira' (IMO 9098268), which was 960 nautical miles north-northwest of the scene. They will be disembarked as soon as possible.
