In the strong winds and foggy weather which might endanger fishermen’s lives, the trawler’s captain asked the center for help.

Upon receiving the information, the center requested the captain to stay in touch with the center, update the fishermen’s health conditions while sending Ship SAR 273 to the scene for the rescue mission.

At 10:18a.m. on May 26, the crew-members on ship SAR 273 approached the troubled trawler, provided health check-ups for fishermen, and took them ashore.
