The Goa-based vessel was reported lacking about 100 nautical miles off New Mangalore, prompting swift motion from the ICG's Karnataka headquarters.
In response to a press launch issued on Sunday, the ICG deployed ICGS Kasturba Gandhi, a patrol vessel, and a Dornier plane from Kochi to find the distressed boat, which had drifted considerably as a consequence of tough seas and opposed climate.
“Utilizing real-time climate knowledge and the Built-in Operations Centre, we calculated the vessel's possible location,” the discharge stated.
On Saturday, the Dornier plane noticed the boat, enabling ICGS Kasturba Gandhi to achieve the positioning and supply essential help, together with harm evaluation, on-site steering repairs, and guaranteeing the vessel's watertight integrity.
The Coast Guard then coordinated with one other fishing boat to tow IFB Sant Anton-I to Honnavar fishing harbour, guaranteeing the protection of all 31 crew members.
