The
Indian Coast Guard (ICG) carried out a rescue operation for the US sailing
vessel ‘Sea Angel’ stranded about 52 nautical miles south-east of Indira Point,
Andaman & Nicobar Islands on July 10. The yacht carrying two crew members,
was disabled amid extremely rough conditions with a blown sail and entangled
propeller.
Upon receiving the distress alert, MRCC Port Blair
alerted all nearby merchant vessels and launched rescue coordination protocols.
Further, ICG ship Rajveer was deployed and the ship established communication
with the stranded crew & conducted an on-site assessment. Despite heavy
winds and mechanical disablement, the crew was found safe and in good health. On
the morning of July 11, the yacht was successfully towed and escorted to
Campbell Bay harbour.
