A potential maritime tragedy was averted off the picturesque Goa coast thanks to a swift and collaborative rescue operation. All 27 fishermen aboard the trawler 'Mahalaxmi', which capsized near the Mormugao Port Trust (MPT) on Thursday, were safely brought to shore by the combined efforts of the Indian Coast Guard and the Indian Navy.
The harrowing incident unfolded around 2:30 PM when the fishing vessel encountered severe weather conditions and rough seas, leading to its capsizing.
A distress call was immediately relayed, triggering an urgent response from maritime authorities.
The Indian Coast Guard swiftly deployed its advanced Offshore Patrol Vessel, ICGS Sujeet, to the scene. Complementing this effort, a Coast Guard Dornier aircraft provided crucial aerial surveillance, helping to pinpoint the exact location and extent of the emergency.
The Indian Navy also joined the multi-agency operation, with personnel from INS Vikramaditya playing a vital role in the rescue.
The 27 fishermen, hailing from various states including Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, and Assam, found themselves in a perilous situation as their vessel succumbed to the turbulent waters.
However, the synchronized actions of the rescue teams ensured that no lives were lost.
Upon their successful retrieval, the rescued fishermen were provided with immediate medical attention and necessary provisions, bringing a collective sigh of relief to their families and the maritime community.
This incident underscores the inherent dangers faced by those who work at sea, as well as the unwavering dedication and professionalism of India's Coast Guard and Navy in safeguarding lives.
The timely coordination and effective deployment of resources highlight the robust preparedness of the Indian maritime forces to handle emergencies even under challenging environmental conditions.
The successful rescue serves as a testament to their continuous commitment to maritime safety and security.
