Rescue operation in the Baltic. Yacht towed to Ustka
On the evening of Wednesday, September 24, 2025, a rescue operation was carried out in the Baltic Sea near Ustka after a yacht experienced technical difficulties — likely involving its steering system or engine — rendering it unable to continue under its own power.
The Polish Maritime Search and Rescue Service (SAR) responded to the distress call, dispatching the rescue vessel Orkan. The crew successfully secured and towed the yacht back to Ustka harbor.
The operation was completed smoothly, and all crew members returned safely ashore without injuries. The exact cause of the malfunction has not yet been disclosed.
