Sea-Eye 4

In 1981 the ship was sold to Arvid Bergvall Jr. & Co., registered in Panama and renamed Springfield.

More than 660 large and small organisations, initiatives, companies, associations and foundations from different areas of society came together in the alliance.

The mission is supported by United4Rescue (alliance for civil sea rescue) and the aid organisation German Doctors for Developing Countries.
