Within the framework of the Plan Renacer (a recovery Plan for San Andres island), sailed from Cartagena the Corvette ARC Almirante Tono to the islands of San Andrés, Providencia and Santa Catalina, in order to strengthen the reconstruction work of the archipelago after the passage of the Hurricane Iota.
This unit will sail through the waters of the Colombian Caribbean, demonstrating the resources of the seventh unit deployed with humanitarian support, which will transport more than 11 tons of humanitarian aid and construction materials to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of this island region.
The unit manned by more than 70 men and women, and led by its commander, Captain Nelsón Eduardo Hernández Romero, will conduct the mission of transporting humanitarian aid donated by institutions of the public and the private sectors, as well as national institutions, who have coordinated efforts to collect aid for the most vulnerable communities.
This ship is part of the units of the Colombian Navy, that have been deployed in the Colombian Caribbean, such as the ARC Almirante Padilla, the ARC Independiente, the ARC Antioquia, the ARC Malpelo, the Patrol OPV ARC 7 de Agosto and the ARC Golfo de Urabá, which have been the logistical support to access to the areas hit by that natural disaster.
