The Mexican Navy successfully located two humanitarian sailboats, the Tiger Moth and Friend Ship, on Saturday after they were reported missing while en route to Cuba.
The vessels were spotted by a naval aircraft approximately 80 nautical miles northwest of Havana, with all nine crew members confirmed safe.
Communication has been re-established via radio, and a Mexican support ship is currently intercepting the convoy to provide any necessary assistance as they complete their final leg to the island.
These boats are part of an international “Our America Convoy” transporting 50 tonnes of vital medical supplies, food, and solar panels to alleviate the ongoing energy crisis in Cuba.
The mission has faced significant hurdles, including a deepened fuel blockade and harsh maritime conditions that delayed previous arrivals.
While authorities have not yet specified the cause of the communication blackout, a spokesperson for the convoy expressed relief and gratitude toward the Mexican and Cuban governments for their coordinated rescue efforts.
The disappearance sparked international concern, including a personal statement from Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel.
The situation is further complicated by rising regional tensions; U.S. President Donald Trump recently reiterated threats against Havana during an investment forum in Miami, coinciding with the second month of the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran.
Despite these geopolitical pressures and the recent search-and-rescue operation, the convoy organisers confirmed that the mission remains on track to deliver the urgently needed aid to the Cuban people.
