The Sri Lanka Navy rendered towing assistance to a distressed local multiday fishing trawler in eastern seas and guided it safely to the Cod Bay Fisheries Harbour today.
In coordination with the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) Colombo established at the Navy Headquarters, this SAR operation was mounted to rescue six fishermen on the fishing trawler which was in distress, due to a mechanical failure, about 54 nautical miles (about 100km) off the eastern coast.
The fishing trawler (Uvindu Putha) was reported to have left the Cod Bay Fisheries Harbour, Trincomalee on March 5 with sixfishermen.
As the fishing trawler was in distress about 54 nautical miles (about 100 km) off the eastern coast, due to a mechanical failure caused by seawater seeping into the multi-day fishing trawler, a distress call was disseminated to MRCC Colombo through the Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, requesting assistance.
