RESCUE PG TRAUNG
On Oct 11, 2024, at 9.40 p.m. the PG Traung' and 'Stig Wadström' were alerted by the JRCC at 21:30 after the sailing yacht 'Passion', a Beneteau Oceanis 40.1, had run aground in the port entrance in Grönhögen in southwestern Öland. Shortly before arriving at the accident site, the lifeboat crews were informed that the colleagues at the rescue station Grönhögen had already evacuated all the people on board. As the boats were almost there, they continued to see if they could assist in any way. The sailboat was firmly aground in the three meter high surf,. so that that towing attempts could not be done in a safe way. The heavily damaged yacht was lifted ashore on Oct 15. It was only then that the extent of the damage became apparent. The hull and large parts of the interior fittings of the relatively new boat were completely missing. They were obviously crushed on the port jetty during the sinking. Some subassemblies, such as the forward wet room, are only held by the pipes and are swinging under the boat. The hull-deck connection was broken.

Burgas
Gypsies from the poorest country in the EU - Bulgaria, have attempted to board unnamed motor vessel at Port of Burgas outer anchorage, Maritime.bg reported. The information has been confirmed by the authorities in the country. The regional governor of Burgas has appointed an urgent investigation into the so-called first piracy act in the Bulgaria's European waters. According to Maritime.bg, the attackers were not caught after their approach to the ship was detected by local services. An unknown number of gypsies are said to have sailed in a speedboat and had a ladder to board the unnamed motor vessel, under cover of the night ten days ago. A few years ago, the Libyan GNMT accused Bulgaria of supporting a "purely pirate act" when, under unknown and highly dubious circumstances, the company lost control of motor tanker BADR. The case unfolded again near Burgas. Report in Bulgarian: https://www.maritime.bg/75948-2/
