WE NEED YOUR HELP
TO SAVE LIVES AT SEA
Answer this S.O.S.
Each year, thousands of people attempt to cross the Mediterranean Sea on makeshift boats, risking their lives.
Each year, SOS MEDITERRANEE teams provide assistance to these vessels in distress, in accordance with international maritime law.
Since 2016, our teams have rescued more than 41,000 people in distress at sea.
Understand
Save Our Ship. Save Our Souls.
S.O.S is a universal distress signal sent in case of imminent danger. Responding to it is a legal obligation defined by international law. Our action is based on one imperative: to provide assistance to anyone in danger at sea.
Support us monthly
It’s an emergency!
Attempts to cross the Central Mediterranean have been increasing since the beginning of the year. To ensure that our civilian ship, the Ocean Viking, can continue saving lives at sea, we need your support!
