Emergency in the morning for a boat carrying 9 people on board that was sinking between the islands of Budelli, Razzoli and Santa Maria of the archipelago of La Maddalena . The request for intervention was received by the operations room of the Coast Guard which sent a patrol boat to the site and hijacked the fast boat Alfa 70, already engaged in patrolling activities for "Mare Safe".
The passengers, including a boy, were recovered: they were in Sardinia on vacation. They are all in good condition, as is the owner.
The boat, probably half-sunk by a waterway that had opened in the hull, was then recovered by a specialized firm, put back to the waterline and finally taken to a shipyard for repairs.
Investigations are underway by the Port Authority of La Maddalena to determine the dynamics of what happened and any responsibilities.
