SOS MEDITERRANEE Switzerland

SOS MEDITERRANEE Switzerland, a Swiss non-governmental organization dedicated to saving lives at sea by rescuing women, men, and children in distress on the Mediterranean Sea, is headquartered in Switzerland.

Here are key aspects of the company:

• Products & Services: The organization operates rescue missions aboard the Ocean Viking to save individuals fleeing war, violence, and poverty from unsafe conditions like those in Libya.
• Industries: SOS MEDITERRANEE focuses on humanitarian aid, maritime rescue operations, and raising awareness about the Mediterranean refugee crisis.
• Customers: Their beneficiaries include thousands of migrants and refugees who attempt perilous crossings on overcrowded and unsuitable vessels every year.

Since 2014, over 23,200 people have lost their lives in the Mediterranean due to insufficient rescue resources, prompting SOS MEDITERRANEE to act since 2016 by securing safe passage for more than 42,000 rescued individuals until they reach a safe port.
