Cruise ship assisted stranded yacht
The 'Costa Fascinosa' assisted the yacht 'Elefance' with a fuel transfer on Dec 14, 2024, as both vessels were in the midst of their transatlantic crossings. After a distress call was issued at approximately 5 p.m., the 'Costa Fascinosa' immediately turned to the south-southeast to reach the Canadian-registered yacht 'Elefance', en route from Lanzarote to St. Martin, which had experienced a major mechanical failure, that compromised her ability to sail. Without enough fuel to use the engines for the entire trip across the Atlantic Ocean, the yacht was adrift and facing a potentially hazardous and life-threatening situation. It took three hours for the cruise ship to reach the yacht, at which time a lifeboat was quickly dispatched to render aid. The sailing vessel was successfully refueled and able to resume the journey. The 'Costa Fascinosa' was quickly able to resume the own cruise and there was no expected delay on the voyage from Savona to Pointe-a-Pitre, Guadeloupe with an ETA as of Dec 19.
