Medevac off Cartagena
The 'Celebrity Equinox', en route from Malaga to Barcelona, requested the medical evacuation of an English passenger on April 15, 2026. After the onboard doctor recommended a maritime evacuation, the CCS Cartagena of Salvamento Marítimo mobilised the SAR boat 'Salvamar Draco', which took the patient off and transferred him to Cartagena, where an ambulance was waiting for further transport to a hospital.
Cruise ship broke lose from its mooring
In the port of Buenos Aires, the 'Celebrity Equinox' allided with the pier after the mmoring lines of the bow on Dec 20, 2025, amid strong winds. The ship hit its own berth with the stern, a tanker at its starboard side and an adjacent pier with the bow. The bridge crew was unable to regain maneuverability quickly enough to avoid thre accident. Several harbour tugs were immediately called to assist the cruise ship, and the 'Celebrity Equinox' was pulled back to its berth and moored. However, the accident left scratches on the ship's hull and caused a gangway connected to the vessel to fall into the port basin. Embarkation and disembarkation were delayed by up to three hours. Passenger exchange had to be temporarily suspended until the ship was safely back at its berth and a new gangway was in place. The departure from Buenos Aires could not take place as scheduled on zjr evening, as the damage also had to be inspected. IT turned out that the damage was only cosmetic and not structural, so the ship was able to depart on the morning of Dec 21 with a significant delay. As a consequence, there were changes to the current Christmas and New Year's cruise. Montevideo, the first destination of the cruise, was reached only on Dec 22 instead of Dec 21 as originally planned.
