No one was hurt during the incident and the family and crew were rescued and brought to shore that afternoon. According to local media, SUR in English, there has been a debacle between the owner and the insurance company as to who's responsible for rescuing the vessel.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7503" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Neeveen 27.43m (89'12&quot;)Van Mill1986">Neeveen</a> was launched in 1986 and built by the Dutch shipbuilder <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/497" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Mill (Company)">Van Mill</a>, sporting an exterior styled by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4836" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Antonio Maggini Design (Company)">Antonio Maggini Design</a> which has been laid onto a hull by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/102" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mulder Design (Company)">Mulder Design</a>. She was designed to accommodate as many as eight guests – who’ll have a choice of one of her four staterooms to reside in – and equipped with three MAN engines that allow her to cruise comfortably at 16 knots and reach speeds of 20 knots.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/218443/image/large-9e6edd9a5bfc3d9a91cd02b84a153406.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/218443">The extent of the damage is still yet to be determined, but it has been reported that she’ll be towed to Motril port where she’ll either be put up for auction or scrapped, depending on her condition.A team of divers have already visited the yacht to check her damage and to assess the state of the seabed to check for environmental damage. To ensure that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7503" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Neeveen 27.43m (89'12&quot;)Van Mill1986">Neeveen</a>’s environmental damage is kept to a minimum, the local Maritime Rescue has been asked to drain the remaining fuel. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/218857/image/large-97228687c0925813c842684e3dee5723.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/218857">SUR in English reported that the debacle continues and the owners of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7503" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Neeveen 27.43m (89'12&quot;)Van Mill1986">Neeveen</a> have allegedly disappeared and refused to accept the responsibility of collecting her.
