Coast Guard ship rescues fishing boat with six crewmen

The Dornier located the boat at about 1.45pm on Monday and vectored ICGS Aadesh to her. The crew attempted to rectify the defect in the clutch assembly, but the engine failed to start. ICGS Aadesh provided logistics support and also made arrangements for further rectification on the engine. However, the attempts were in vain. Finally, the boat was towed safely to Colachel. It reached Thengapattanam fishing harbour at 9.30am on Tuesday. The incident once again highlights the disadvantages of fishing boats venturing out alone. The fishermen are, therefore, advised to undertake fishing in groups, adhering to safe practices at sea and carry adequate lifesaving appliances and communication equipment on-board," the release stated.
