Civilian rescue at sea

The flight route across the Mediterranean is life-threatening and unbelievably exhausting. Crammed together on unseaworthy boats, people sometimes drift for days in storms, cold, heat and rain without food, drink or medicine on the open sea, far from any hope of rescue. If at all, the refugees are often found in extremely critical conditions. From dehydration, hypothermia or heat stroke to severe burns or resuscitation: in sea rescue missions, the team must be prepared for anything and the ship must be equipped in the best possible way to be able to help quickly and effectively.

That’s why the two associations Sea Punks and Medical-Volunteers International quickly realized that more can be achieved if each of the organizations involved contributes what it can do best to save as many lives as possible in the Mediterranean.

The story

The SEA PUNK I is a former research vessel that is currently being converted into a seaworthy rescue ship. In order to best deal with the difficult medical conditions, it needs a fully equipped infirmary on board. And medically qualified volunteers to care for the rescued people. Nicole Grimske, a member of the MVI board, put us in touch with all those involved, and they quickly agreed that the SEA PUNK I would be transferred to the Mediterranean at the beginning of July this year. This will be the starting point of the mission to save human lives in the Mediterranean.

The financial requirements

In order for us to be able to really start, we still need some money, among other things, to expand the infirmary and equip it as good as possible. We were able to win over six generous donors from our environment, who have agreed to double every donation up to €200 until we have the required €20,000.
