Humanity 2

Humanity 2 is a sailing vessel operated by the German NGO SOS Humanity for the monitoring of sea areas and rescue of people in difficulty on the Mediterranean Sea. At the start of 2026, the boat was being converted from its former use for leisure sailing to its new purpose for rescue at sea, whilst at a shipyard in Syracuse, Italy.[1][2][3][4]

Humanity 2 is a ketch, 24m in length, and has MMSI 211192970;[5] following commissioning, in mid-2026, the planned use is for the boat to be deployed off the coast of Tunisia.[6]

Following the rescue in November 2026 by Humanity 1 of 85 people, SOS Humanity reiterated the importance of launching their second rescue vessel.[7][8]

Service

Humanity 2 was put into service on 29 June 2026 in Sicily. The ship has crew of 10 activists and can, when loaded to the max, pick up 100 migrants. During the ceremony, NGO leader Till Rummenhohl emphasized the responsibility of the European Union for the drowned migrants in Mediterranean and vowed the new ship would also document human rights violations.[9]
