Seven crew members and a yet to be determined number of guests were traveling on the ship. Initially, the crew stayed on board trying to put out the flames, while the occupants were transferred to other nearby boats. Once the fire was revived, the crew also had to abandon the ship.
From Salvamento Marítimo, the Salvamar Acrux and the Guardamar Concepción Arenal, as well as a Civil Guard ship, have traveled to the site. Salvamento Marítimo has assured that there are still hours of work until the fire can be extinguished.
