RNLI rescue 5 fishermen from capsized trawler - Tuesday 31 Jan 2012

Teignmouth relief lifeboat was called out to a capsized fishing trawler approaching the River Teign yesterday. Volunteer lifeboat crew launched Mary Lewis, the Teignmouth relief lifeboat at 13:40 yesterday.

The fishermen who were found taking refuge on the side of the wheelhouse were rescued from the trawler. Paramedics were waiting when the lifeboat returned to the station for the men who were released after being pronounced OK.

Tony Watson, Teignmouth lifeboat press officer, said: "Our volunteer crew got to the trawler quickly and saved five lives in tricky conditions, but this just shows that accidents can happen to even experienced mariners."

It is not known why the vessel capsized.

Trawler with 110 capsizes off Bangladesh coast, 11 rescued  -  7 November 2012

 

A trawler carrying 110 intending migrants, including Bangladeshis and Rohingyas, capsized in the Bay at Moheshkhalia Saikatpara point in Teknaf upazila early Wednesday while heading towards Malaysia. Quoting survivors and locals, Lt Col Zahid Hasan, commanding officer of the 42nd Battalion of the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), said the boat carrying 110 people set out for Malaysia from Subrang point of the upazila on Tuesday night.

After an hour of journey, Zahid said, the trawler sank in the sea about 20-25 nautical miles southwest off Teknaf around 3 am due to inclement weather. On information, Zahid said, members of BGB, Bangladesh Navy and Bangladesh Coast Guard rushed in and started the rescue operation with the help of local fishermen.

The fishermen had already rescued 11 people from the point where the trawler sank. Of the rescued passengers, two were Rohingya refugees while the rest Bangladeshi nationals.

The BGB official could not say how many of the passengers managed to swim ashore. The survivors said they were going to Malaysia in search of jobs. Zahid said the rescued people could not tell them how many Rohingya refugees were there among the 110 passengers of the trawlers. He said BGB members rescued another 12 people from another boat also heading towards Malaysia.

The tragedy comes less than a fortnight after another trawler with over 128 passengers capsized on 28 October 2012 in the Bay near Shah Porir Island in Teknaf close to Bangladesh’s southeastern border with Myanmar, leaving an unknown number of people missing. Among the passengers, six survived but the others went missing. Their destination was also Malaysia. (UNB)


 

 

 



31 January 2012 - Trawler salvage operation in Teignmouth begins


An operation to recover a fishing trawler which hit a sandbank and capsized off Devon is under way. Five fishermen were rescued from the Girl Rona after it capsized at the entrance of Teignmouth harbour on Monday. It was carrying about 2,000 gallons of diesel and nearly 20 tons of fish. Fish have been dumped from the vessel and a tug is taking a line to it before work starts to pump out water and re-float it.

Lifeboat damaged


The local inshore RNLI lifeboat came to the crew's rescue after they managed to scramble on to the side of their vessel. There were no reports of any injuries.

 

Teignmouth's harbour master, Cdr David Vaughan, said: "When the tide goes out, we'll get out there with pumps so we can pump out the maximum amount of water we can at low tide. "When the tide comes in again, we'll be in a good position to pull her off and re-float her. Then we can bring her into the harbour."

The lifeboat sustained some damage during the rescue, the RNLI said. It added that repairs had been started so they could "sort that out as fast as we can".

U.S Coast Guard sinks Japanese fishing trawler near Alaska News On Japan via CNN  Apr 2006

The U.S. Coast Guard sank a Japanese fishing trawler off the coast of Alaska on Thursday, more than a year after it was swept away by a tsunami off the east coast of Japan, authorities said. The trawler capsized hours after the Coast Guard set fire to it, causing it to begin taking on water, said Petty Officer 1st Class David Mosley, a Coast Guard spokesman. The sinking of the Ryou-Un Maru brought about the end of a journey for the rust-stained ship that drifted across the Pacific Ocean as part of a giant debris field generated by a tsunami that struck Japan following a 9.0 earthquake on March 11, 2011.


The Coast Guard determined the trawler posed a threat to other ships navigating the area, and had been broadcasting the unmanned, unlit vessel's location to mariners to alert them to the hazard. The U.S. Geological Survey advised the Coast Guard where the ship's sinking would have the least environmental impact.

"The potential for a pollution incident is unknown at this time, but officials have limited concerns about any biological threats due to the length of time the vessel has been at sea," the Coast Guard said in a statement.

The Coast Guard opened fire on the Ryou-Un Maru at 1 p.m. Thursday. The ship drifted from Canadian waters into U.S. waters on Saturday, and was located about 180 miles west of the Dixon Entrance in Southeast Alaska, the Coast Guard said.

The trawler was first spotted floating near British Columbia by a Canadian military air patrol, and it was then determined that it had been adrift since the tsunami, Canadian officials said last month.

The Japan Coast Guard identified the owner of the vessel after being contacted by Canadian officials, who were provided the identification number on the hull.

The vessel, which was used for squid fishing, was moored at Hachinohe in the Aomori prefecture when the tsunami hit, Japanese authorities said.

A Canadian vessel, the Bernie C, had expressed an interest in salvage, which delayed the operation, but officials deemed that it would be too unsafe to tow or attempt to salvage the vessel, said Coast Guard spokesman Kip Wadlow.
