The Iuventa is a former fishing vessel built in 1962 at the shipyard Scheepswerf Vooruit in Zaandam. The ship was originally used for fishing until it was sold and converted into an offshore support ship. It was resold in late 2001 and renamed Alk Explorer. In 2016, the ship became property of the Jugend Rettet group, and was rebuilt for rescuing purposes. Since July 2016,[3][4] the ship operates in the Mediterranean, mainly assisting shipwrecked refugees.
On 2 August 2017, the Iuventa was seized by the Italian judiciary and the crew was put under investigation for "assistance with illegal immigration and migration". The ten crew members are under trial, which will begin in Autumn 2019.[5]However, presented in 2018 at the Manifesta 12 in Palermo, Italy, a Goldsmiths, University of London-based Forensic Oceanography and Forensic Architecture team of researchers came to the conclusion that the crew of the Iuventa neither communicated with nor returned empty boats back to the traffickers, thereby invalidating the Italian public prosecutor's allegations.[6]
On 10 June 2018, the Biografilm Festival in Bologna, Italy, introduced Michele Cinque's 86-minute cinema documentary Iuventa about the ship and its missions, filmed between 2016 and 2017.[7][8]
On 10 May 2019 the crew of the Iuventa was honored by the Swiss Paul Grüninger Foundation with a human rights award for saving the lives of around 14000 people in the central Mediterranean.[9]
