On Friday, April 3rd, a rescue vessel operated by the Maritime Fishing Delegation of Safi, named "Al-Hawz," successfully provided assistance to a traditional fishing boat named "Al-Qadalia 2" after it experienced a sudden engine failure while at sea. This incident highlights the crucial role of rescue operations in ensuring the safety of fishermen and their vessels.
Local sources revealed that the rescue vessel departed from Safi port around noon on Friday to conduct search and rescue operations. Extensive sweeps were carried out in the open sea, leading to the identification of the disabled boat's location by approximately 6:44 PM. This timely response was essential in preventing any potential harm to the crew or the vessel.
To facilitate the safe return of the fishing boat to Safi port, the rescue team provided it with a spare engine that was readily available on board the rescue vessel. This assistance allowed "Al-Qadalia 2" to regain its sailing capabilities and return to shore without any loss of life. The prompt action taken by the rescue team underscores the importance of maritime safety protocols and the readiness of local authorities to respond to emergencies at sea.
After completing the assistance operation, the rescue vessel returned to its base, marking the end of a successful mission that exemplifies the dedication of maritime services in safeguarding the lives of fishermen.
