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]
