Coast Guard Units of the Colombian Navy, in a search and rescue operation, find and provide assistance to a fishing ship, manned by four people, who had drifted after suffering mechanical failures, in the area of Nuquí, in the department of Chocó.
After three days of unsuccessful search conducted by a citizen, who would have received information that said that the ship “Montesiano,” reported the loss of propulsion and was drifting in the sector of Cabo Corrientes and alerted the Units of the Coast Guard Station of Bahía Solano, who immediately launched the search and rescue operation, using patterns in accordance with the latest coordinates where the aircraft had been seen.
After four intense hours of searching, Coast Guard Units find the ship, 57 nautical miles away from the coast of Solano Bay, in the area of Nuquí, in the department of Chocó, where upon arriving and accessing the ship, it was possible to verify the status of health of their four crewmen, who were in good condition, and subsequently were provided with hydration.
The fishing boat and its crew were towed to the dock of Bahía Solano, with the support of a private motorboat, being escorted by a Coast Guard Unit, who watched over the safety and physical condition of the four people throughout the journey, until arriving at safe harbor.
