The Sea-Eye is a former fishing trawler . The ship was bought by Sea-Eye eV of the same name in 2014 and was used as a rescue ship in the southern Mediterranean from 2015 to 2018 , primarily between Malta and Libya . The ship sailed under the flag of the Netherlands . Sister ship is the Seefuchs, also used by Sea-Eye eV until 2019 .
history
The ship was built on the Elbe shipyard in Boizenburg in the late 1960s . It was the last ship of its series from the stack and was on May 4, 1959 as SAS 320 Sternhai from owners and operators, the VEB fishing Saßnitz in service provided. 20 of the same type of ship were initially built at the Volkswerft Stralsund and later another 30 at the Elbe shipyard in Boizenburg. The cutter has a length of 26.65 meters, which is why it was colloquially called "twenty-six". The ships' fishing area was primarily the North Sea and the Baltic Sea . In 1991 the star shark was bought privately and remained in the fishery until 2014.
In the wake of the humanitarian emergency and in the face of numerous drowning people in connection with flight and migration across the Mediterranean to the EU , the non-governmental organization Sea-Eye eV was the first of its ships to buy the former fishing vessel, which it had renamed Sea-Eye , and repaired it. Since 2015 it has been used for rescue operations in the Mediterranean after some modifications.
The ship broke down in autumn 2018 due to engine failure and was stranded in Málaga .
