On April 1st 2017, MOAS launched our fourth search and rescue mission in the Central Mediterranean. Throughout this month, we’ll bring you interviews with the crew onboard our vessel, the Phoenix, exploring aspects of the mission preparation, how the vessel is equipped, and the challenges the crew will face at sea.
In this video, Gonzalo, the Captain of the Phoenix, explains how the crew have been working hard to make sure everything is ready for the new mission, and how his family feel about his work with MOAS.
Watch out for our next blog series, which will explore how the different stages of a rescue unfold. For all the MOAS news and updates, sign up to our newsletter at the bottom of this page. You can support our rescue missions by giving whatever you can to help us save lives at sea.
