Four fishermen rescued

The four crew embers of the fishing boat 'Nuevo Abeijón' from Noia, that sank near Monte Louro, off the Galician town of Muros, have been saved after safely reaching some nearby rock formations on Oct 31, 2023. The alarm was triggered by other fishing boats that were nearby. Salvamento Marítimo was alerted at 10:25 a.m. The 'Salvamvar Regulus' was deployed and tried to get closer to the accident site, but the adverse sea conditions and the proximity of the stones prevented any rescue attempt.
