The Malta Ranger Unit (MRU) warns about unsafe behaviour at sea after an incident near Comino in which a swimmer narrowly avoids being hit by a boat. In a released video, the MRU shows a vessel travelling close to a swimmer without an apparent lookout, and the swimmer appears to change position in time to avoid impact. The MRU says such near-miss cases are not isolated and that swimmers and other sea users are put at risk when boats do not keep proper watch. It calls for stronger enforcement to deter irresponsible navigation and to improve compliance with safety expectations for vessels operating in popular recreational areas. The MRU’s message focuses on the need for vigilance and safe operating practices, highlighting that failures in maintaining a lookout can lead to dangerous outcomes even when no collision occurs.
