Motor Yacht Assisted

Manie le Roux, NSRI Richards Bay deputy station commander, said: At 12h05, Friday, 6 November, NSRI Richards Bay duty crew were activated following a request for assistance from local crew onboard a local motor vessel reporting rudder failure at the New Mouth, Port of Richards Bay.

Our duty crew responded to our NSRI Richards Bay station 19 rescue base where the NSRI rescue craft Ocean Guardian was launched.

On arrival on the scene we found the 3 crew, 2 men and a lady, safe but their vessel, with rudder failure, was requiring a tow to their berth.

A towline was established and without incident we towed the vessel and berthed her at their berth at the Zululand Yacht Club and no further assistance was required.
