SAR boat mobilized to sinking fishing vessel

On March 12, the Spanish flagged 12,05-fishing vessel 'Segundo María Isabel' (built 1995), based in the port of Corme, struck a rocky outcrop and suffered water ingress and started listing to port side about 0.5 nautical miles north of the Arnela beach in Muxia. The crew activated the EPIRB at 2.15 p.m. The CCS Fisterra of Salvamento Marítimo activated the emergency protocol and mobilized the 'Salvamar Altair' from Camariñas to the scene. The crew of the fishing vessel 'Playa de Lago', which was in the area too, started an attempt to patch the leak, but this proved impossible given the damage sustained by the fishing vessel at its starboard side., The two fishermen of the Segundo María Isabel'were then taken aboard and transported them to Camariñas in good condition. The fishing vessel was already low in the water and eventually sank after the arrival of the SAR boat, and the crew of the 'Salvamar Altair' recovered floating gear and equipment.
