The rescue organisation was placed on alert on Friday morning after receiving reports from Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) that the 35-metre long liner vessel was taking on water about 30 nautical miles southwest of the Port of Table Bay.
The National Sea Rescue Institute rescued 22 fishermen from a sinking fishing trawler off the coast of Cape Town on Saturday morning.
‘At around 10am, it was reported that the situation had deteriorated as sea conditions changed, wind speeds and sea swells increased in intensity and NSRI decided to launch an assist,’ said NSRI spokesperson Craig Lambinon. A team comprising of WC Government Health EMS, SAPS, Police Sea Borderline Control and SAPS Water Policing and Diving Services were also alerted.
