On a recent day, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) showed its bravery and quick action by rescuing people from a ship that was attacked in the Red Sea. This rescue was carried out by the UAE’s Safeen Prism vessel operated by AD Ports Group. The ship they saved was called ‘Magic Seas’. This rescue shows how the UAE cares about the safety of people at sea and its commitment to protecting ships in dangerous waters.

What Happened to Magic Seas?

The commercial ship named ‘Magic Seas’ was sailing in the Red Sea when it was attacked. This attack damaged the ship badly. The structure of the ship was broken, and it became unsafe to stay on board. The crew and security personnel on the ship had no choice but to abandon it. The weather and sea conditions were also not good, which made the situation even worse for them.

Imagine being on a ship in the middle of the sea, and suddenly it is attacked. You see cracks in the walls of the ship, and the captain says it is not safe to stay. You have to leave the ship quickly, and you don’t know if anyone will come to save you. This was the situation for the people on ‘Magic Seas’.

How Did UAE Respond to the Distress Call?

When the attack happened, a distress call was sent out. A distress call is like an SOS message that tells everyone nearby that there is an emergency and people need help immediately.

The Safeen Prism vessel received this call. Safeen Prism is a ship operated by AD Ports Group in the UAE. The crew of Safeen Prism did not waste any time. They started the rescue operation immediately. They moved towards the location of ‘Magic Seas’ even though it was risky for them as well.

Who Was Rescued?

There were a total of 22 people on the ‘Magic Seas’. These included the ship’s crew members and some security personnel. The UAE’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) confirmed in its statement that all these 22 people were rescued safely. No one was left behind.

Imagine the relief these people felt when they saw the Safeen Prism ship coming to rescue them. They were scared, stuck in the sea, and then saw a ship coming closer to save their lives. This shows how important it is to have brave rescue teams.

How Was the Rescue Operation Carried Out?

The rescue operation was not done alone. The UAE worked together with many specialised maritime authorities. Some of them include:

• United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) – This organisation helps ships in the region stay safe and shares important information during emergencies.

• Relevant international organisations – These are global bodies that take care of maritime safety.

The rescue operation was done in a very systematic way. Everyone involved followed the highest standards of safety and emergency response. This means that they used the best methods and tools to make sure everyone was rescued without getting hurt.

Why Is This Rescue Important?

This rescue is important for many reasons:

1. Shows UAE’s Commitment to Safety
   The UAE proved that it will always help people in trouble at sea, no matter which country they belong to. This shows that the UAE is a true friend to many nations and cares about humanity.

2. Ensures Safety of International Maritime Navigation
   Ships carry goods from one country to another. If ships are attacked, it affects global trade. By rescuing the people on ‘Magic Seas’, the UAE has shown that it wants to keep international trade routes safe.

3. Reflects Humanitarian Solidarity
   The UAE stood in solidarity with the crew members who needed help. Humanitarian solidarity means helping others in need without thinking about personal benefit.

Why Is the Red Sea Becoming Dangerous?

The Red Sea is an important waterway. Many ships pass through it every day carrying oil, food, and goods. But in recent times, there have been increasing attacks on ships in this region. This makes it dangerous for people who work on ships.

When attacks happen, it does not only damage the ship. It also puts the lives of people in danger and affects trade between countries. This is why countries like the UAE are always ready to respond quickly to such emergencies to save lives and protect trade.

What Did UAE’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Say?

In its official statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) of the UAE said that:

• The rescue operation was carried out successfully.

• All 22 individuals, including crew and security personnel, were rescued safely.

• The operation was done in coordination with UKMTO and other international organisations.

• The UAE will always stand firm in ensuring maritime safety and will continue to support humanitarian causes in strategic waterways.

The Role of AD Ports Group and Safeen Prism

AD Ports Group is a major company in the UAE that manages ports and maritime operations. Their vessel, Safeen Prism, was the hero in this rescue mission. The ship’s crew showed bravery, quick thinking, and professional skills. They saved the lives of 22 people under risky conditions in the sea.

How Do Such Rescues Happen?

When a distress call is received:

1. The nearest ship or maritime authority is alerted.

2. The rescue team prepares life jackets, lifeboats, and medical kits.

3. They move quickly towards the location of the emergency.

4. They rescue the people from lifeboats or from the damaged ship.

5. They provide food, water, and medical help if needed.

This rescue followed all these steps. That is why it was successful without any injury to the rescued people or the rescuers.

The UAE has once again proved that it cares about the safety of people at sea. By rescuing the crew and security personnel of ‘Magic Seas’, the UAE showed bravery, humanity, and commitment to international maritime safety. The people rescued will never forget how Safeen Prism and its crew saved their lives when they needed help the most.

This rescue is a reminder for all of us that there are brave people and countries who stand ready to help others, no matter how dangerous the situation is.
