The fishing group ship containing members of the South Sulawesi DPRD (South Sulawesi) was reported to have experienced an engine failure in the vicinity of Tanakeke Waters, Takalar Regency. As a result, the group of anglers was adrift in the ocean, Sunday (28/11).
Basarnas South Sulawesi, who received a report that the ship was trapped in the ocean, immediately sent a team to KN Sar Kamajaya. His job is to find the trapped ship and evacuate the passengers.
“After a search, KN SAR Kamajaya managed to find the point where the New Bira Fishing Ship was at 19.30 WITA with 13 passengers on board (POB) safe,” said Head of the South Sulawesi Basarnas, Djunaidi, Sunday night.
Djunaidi explained that the boat carrying dozens of fishing groups had been sailing since Saturday (27/11). However, the day after the ship was reported to have experienced an engine failure in the waters around Tanakeke Takalar.
Djunaidi said the ship’s engine was then successfully repaired to return to sailing. However, unfriendly weather conditions made KN SAR Kamajaya escort him to Makassar Port.
Furthermore, he appealed to the public to pay more attention to the condition of ship security and safety before embarking on a voyage. Especially in the unfavorable weather conditions lately.
It was informed that in the fishing boat group there were members of the South Sulawesi DPRD from the PKB faction. The ship had previously sailed since Saturday (27/11), but the day after the ship was reported to have experienced an engine failure in the vicinity of Tanakeke Waters, Takalar Regency.
