Four missing fishermen rescued
The 'Jin Hui 58' was vectored in to the boat of four fishermen who had been reported missing while fishing to the north of Tarawa, Kiribati, after an air crew on a Royal New Zealand Air Force P-3K2 Orion found them. The Rescue Coordination Centre Fiji and the Rescue Coordination Centre NZ requested assistance from the New Zealand Defence Force after the fishermen went missing in a white and grey hulled 12 foot fibreglass boat. They had last been seen in Betio Town, Tarawa on Dec 4, 2020, and had left to go fishing near the northern end of Tarawa. The Kiribati Police searched over the weekend but did not find the men or their boat. The P-3K2 flew to Nauru on Dec 7 and could begin the search for the missing men the next morning. The air crew located the men at about 11.20 a.m. Their boat was drifting approximately 140 nautical miles west of Tarawa. The air crew dropped a survival pack including a radio to the fishermen, and the nearby fishing vessel was directed to the area to rescue the four. The P-3K2 remained overhead until the four fishermen were taken on board the vessel in the afternoon.
