Seenot

- In laboratory tests, the LED lifejacket light produced a higher luminous intensity than the incandescent bulb and was visible from a greater distance on land.
- However, in three out of four sea trials, the incandescent light was spotted earlier and from a greater distance than the LED light.
- The reasons for this are unclear; it is thought that spray, foam and waves may have played a part, and further investigations into light sources and conditions are planned.

- The wreck of the sailing yacht was raised from a depth of 60 metres more than three months after the collision off Šolta and taken to Split.
- Around nine tonnes of water were pumped out during the salvage operation; the damaged yacht is now being examined on land by the public prosecutor’s office, the police and experts.
- The salvage operation enables important investigations into the collision with the catamaran ‘Krilo Eclipse’, but does not yet provide evidence of the cause of the accident or who was at fault.

Boating accident off Šolta: Sunken yacht salvaged from a depth of 60 metres

- A nor’easter tore several boats from their moorings in Marblehead Harbour; at least one sailing yacht sank, and around seven boats ran aground.  
- Riverhead Beach and Glover’s Landing were particularly hard hit, where yachts were driven onto the beach and against rocks, and motorboats were damaged.  
- Harbour Master Souza describes it as the worst storm to hit Marblehead since 2018; persistent bad weather is hampering damage assessments.

- The DGzRS’s SRB 90 prototype completed its first sea trial; the focus was on tuning the two Cummins main engines with dual-jet propulsion.
- The vessel achieved a top speed of around 34 knots and a cruising speed of 25 knots; the electronics, communications and rescue equipment are not yet fully installed.
- Hull made of glass and carbon fibres, elastically mounted deckhouse and spring-mounted seats; further tests and a capsize test will follow before series production begins.

Maritime rescue: SRB 90 – New prototype undergoes its first trial run in Finland

- Off Ribnitz-Damgarten, a drill was carried out involving around 200 emergency personnel to practise the rescue of passengers from a burning passenger ship.
- Among other things, the exercise revealed a shortage of hoses for firefighting in the engine room; communication and responsibilities were also tested.
- Off Eckernförde, maritime rescue teams practised complex search, rescue and medical care procedures at sea during the four-day SAREx exercise.

Maritime emergencies: Rescue drills on the Baltic Sea

- The DGzRS carried out 32 missions in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea over a weekend in September, ranging from medical emergencies to accidents in severe weather.
- Notable operations: rescue of a hypothermic sailor off Heligoland, a mast-breakage operation during SAREx, and a sailor with a broken arm off Schilksee.
- Other rescue operations involved a cruise ship passenger, a stranded fishing boat and a kitesurfer adrift, highlighting the importance of crew preparedness and emergency procedures.

- At sea, the first few minutes following a cardiac emergency are crucial, as emergency services take significantly longer to arrive than on land.  
- Heart attack: chest pain/tightness, radiating pain, shortness of breath; lay the person down, reassure them, monitor them; if conscious, place them in the recovery position.  
- Cardiac arrest: immediately perform 30:2 cardiopulmonary resuscitation, 100–120 compressions per minute; use an AED as soon as possible and follow the voice prompts.

World First Aid Day: When every minute counts at sea

- During a sailing trip in the Flensburg Fjord, the skipper of the ‘Andiamo’ suffers a heart attack amidst a storm and heavy rain.  
- Gunda Pietsch sails alone to Marina Minde, sends a Mayday call by radio and receives assistance from Bremen Rescue and helpers in the harbour.  
- The skipper is taken by the ambulance service to Diako Flensburg, where he receives a stent and is in a stable condition; Pietsch advises practising mooring under real-life conditions.

- Weather-induced surge waves caused water levels to rise by up to 1.44 m in Mallorca and Menorca, flooding beaches and ground-floor premises.
- Sudden surges are caused by rapid fluctuations in air pressure, which are greatly amplified by harbour resonance in narrow, shallow harbours such as Ciutadella.
- Skippers should heed warnings, adjust mooring lines and fenders, avoid risky manoeuvres, and reconsider their choice of anchorage and route planning accordingly.

A sudden flood in the harbour: What lies behind these mini-tsunamis

- Following the capsizing of a licence-free hire boat near s’Estanyol, which resulted in one fatality, the Guardia Civil is investigating the cause and the boat’s equipment.
- Two charter companies have reported suspected shortages of life jackets and are calling for an investigation into the rental firm; official confirmation is still pending.
- From 1 October 2026, people hiring small motorboats in Spain will require a certificate of competence; the industry is calling for greater professionalism and safety across the board.

Fatal boating accident off the coast of Mallorca: charter association calls for stricter rules

- MAIB considers a previously undocumented stability issue with the ‘Bayesian’ to be a possible key factor, whilst Italy is focusing on crew negligence.  
- Wreck investigations and pending reports are intended to clarify whether the theory regarding the stability issue is accurate; investigations are set to continue until at least 2027.  
- Italian Sea Group is under insolvency protection and is involved in a civil dispute with the shipowners and crew over €456 million in alleged reputational damage.

Shipwreck: Two years after the ‘Bayesian’, the cause remains a matter of debate

- A motorboat capsizes on Lake Constance whilst attempting to assist a sailboat that was unable to manoeuvre; several people fall into the water.
- The fire brigade, the German Life Saving Association (DLRG) and the water police rescue everyone and secure the motorboat, which is floating keel-up, as well as the sailboat.
- The motorboat is righted in the harbour with the help of a fire service crane; the accident is the latest in a series of emergencies and numerous incidents on the lake.
