In the night of May 18, 2024, the CROSS Gris Nez was informed by the Calais port captaincy that a migrant boat was at sea in the Calais sector and deployed the 'Rhône' to check the situation on site. Once in the area, various people on the boat requested assistance and the 'Rhône' successively recovered 15 people. Other people still on board the boat refused the assistance offered by French means. The castaways were dropped off at the port of Calais, where they were taken care of by the land emergency services and the border police.

Several people still on board the boat refused the assistance offered by French rescue services and continued on their way.

In the night of Jan 13 and on Jan 14, the CROSS Gris-Nez was informed that several migrant boats were in difficulty in the Strait of Pas-de-Calais.

The 'Rhône' of the French Navy rescued 20 people from a boat off the coast of Pointe aux Oies. Several people still on board the boat refused the assistance offered.

The castaways recovered by the 'Apollo Moon' were dropped off at the quay in Calais and those by the 'Rhône' at Boulogne-sur-Mer. In the run of the day, the 'Abeille Normandie' was depolyed to a boat which was in difficulty off the coast of Neufchatel-Hardelot and initially rescued 33 people. Several people still on board the boat refused the assistance offered by French means and continued on their way. In conjunction with the CROSS Gris-Nez, the 'Abeille Normandie' continued to monitor this boat which stopped a second time. 26 shipwrecked people were then rescued by the 'Abeille Normandie'.
