Falkland Islands authorities respond to Argos Georgia incident

Wednesday, July 24th 2024 – 15:27 UTC

A coordinated rescue operation was swiftly initiated, involving the Falkland Islands Government, the Government of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands

The Falkland Islands Maritime Authority reported an emergency situation involving the fishing vessel Argos Georgia. The vessel, with 27 crew members on board, started taking on water 200 miles east of Stanley, requiring immediate assistance.

After the crew abandoned the ship, a rescue operation ensued with multiple authorities and organizations involved. By the next day, 14 crew members were successfully rescued, while nine were found dead, and four remain missing.

Despite ceasing the search and rescue efforts due to weather conditions, authorities have promised to continue recovery operations. The Falkland Islands Government conveyed deep condolences to the affected families and appreciated all involved in the rescue efforts.
