Crew held in Agadir with investigations continued in Span and Morocco
**Title: Crew of 'Njm Al Shama' Under Investigation in Agadir Following 'Miss Dakar 2' Tragedy** In a developing maritime incident, the crew members of the longliner 'Njm Al Shama' are currently being monitored in Agadir, Morocco, as investigations continue into the tragic sinking of the fishing vessel 'Miss Dakar 2'. This investigation has taken on an international dimension as authorities work diligently to piece together the details of the collision that occurred on March 25. Recent Automatic Identification System (AIS) data has raised significant concerns, revealing that the 'Njm Al Shama' crew failed to activate emergency rescue protocols or offer assistance to the survivors of the 'Miss Dakar 2'. Instead, they proceeded northward, a maneuver that has raised suspicions about their intentions. For nearly 48 hours, the longliner sought refuge within the Canary Islandsβ waters, specifically near Fuerteventura, seemingly attempting to evade potential legal repercussions from the Royal Moroccan Navy. Complicating matters, the captain of the 'Njm Al Shama' declared a medical emergency, which allowed him to be transferred to Las Palmas de Gran Canaria just before the vessel was intercepted on March 27. This action has led investigators to question whether it was a calculated move to dodge accountability for the incident in Morocco. As the ship was escorted back to Agadir, Moroccan authorities uncovered significant evidence, including fresh scratches and dents on the starboard side, along with new paint marks that may have been applied to obscure the damage from the collision with the now-sunken vessel. In light of these findings, six crew members are currently in custody, facing serious allegations of manslaughter and failure to provide assistance. Collaboration between Moroccan and Spanish rescue teams remains robust as they continue to search for the missing bodies and determine the legal responsibilities surrounding this tragic event. Meanwhile, the captain remains in Spain as international legal proceedings evolve. The outcome of this case may set a significant precedent in maritime law and responsibilities in the wake of maritime accidents.
Fishing vessel escorted to Agadir after suspected fatal collision
**Title: Libyan Fishing Vessel Detained After Suspected Collision Off Dakhla** On March 27, 2026, the Royal Libyan Navy took action when it intercepted the fishing vessel 'Njm Al Shamal' approximately 80 nautical miles from Dakhla. This intervention occurred amid concerns that the 'Njm Al Shamal' was involved in a collision with the 'Miss Dakar 2', which tragically sank two days earlier, on March 25, 2026. After the incident, the 'Njm Al Shamal' was seen reducing its speed to four knots near El Marsa, located in Western Sahara, before changing course to the north. The vessel then entered Spanish territorial waters off Fuerteventura, where it lingered near Costa Calma. Ultimately, it continued into international waters until it was intercepted by the Libyan Navy. The 'Njm Al Shamal' was then escorted to the port of Agadir, Morocco, arriving on March 28 under Moroccan authority. Upon inspection, the hull of the 'Njm Al Shamal' showed signs of recent repairs, including abrasions and fresh paint on the starboard side. The ship's crew totaled seven members, but only six were present when the vessel docked. The captain had previously been evacuated to Las Palmas, citing illness, which raised suspicions that this may have been a tactic to elude immediate inquiry or possible detention while investigations were underway. Search and rescue teams have successfully located eight out of thirteen crew members from the 'Miss Dakar 2', with efforts continuing for the five still reported missing. In light of these events, Libyan authorities have initiated an inquiry aimed at uncovering the specifics surrounding the collision. As of now, there has been no official communication from the Ministry of Marine Wealth and Fisheries regarding the ongoing investigation or the status of the detained vessel.
