This Friday afternoon EMERLAN went to the rescue of a 5-meter-long boat that capsized two miles from Playa Honda. The rescue operation began around 7:45 p.m., when EMERLAN mobilized its boat based in La Tiñosa to the incident area.
Four crew members were traveling on the capsized boat, who were rescued unharmed by a sailboat that was in the area. Subsequently, EMERLAN and the Guardamar Urania searched the area for several hours in an attempt to locate the boat. However, the search had to be canceled because the spotlights used interfered with air traffic at the airport.
This Saturday morning, the Ciudad de Ibiza ship located the boat. Currently, Salvamento Marítimo is coordinating with the owners how to remove the boat, as the maneuver could cause it to sink.
