Rescue of a drifting boat

Emerlan rescued on Tuesday night a boat with two crew members, which was adrift one mile from Punta Gorda, south of the island.

Around 10:00 p.m., the Emergency and Security Coordinating Center (CECOES) 1-1-2 of the Government of the Canary Islands activated the NGO to assist the boat, three meters in length, which was "in trouble."

Due to the bad sea conditions, Emerlan transferred the crew members to its boat for safety and towed the boat to the port of La Tiñosa.
