On January 20, an MOL-operated car carrier safely rescued what the company termed “a survivor” (of what is not explained) about 80 kilometres offshore of Mexico.
At 08:50 hours (Mexican time) the Triumph Ace, sailing from the Port of Mazatlán, Mexico to Port of Balboa, Panama, spotted a drifting person and immediately changed course to approach the castaway, and started rescue operations.
After being safely rescued some two hours later, the survivor was turned over to a ship of the Mexican Navy early that afternoon.
