‘Diamond,’ owned by Suhaib of Kochi and sailed out from Ernakulam on August 2, was anchored about 4.3 nautical miles off the Coast of Thannirbavi here.


The Coast Guard immediately sent its ship, ‘Kasturba Gandhi’ under the command of Commandant R K Sharma, he added.


“Despite rough sea and heavy rain, the Coast Guard ship crew braved the high seas to rescue the fishermen,” he said. They located the trawler at 7.50 pm, towed it to the New Mangalore Port and handed over to the Coastal Security Police (CSP) after preliminary investigation.


 The trawler along with the crew were handed over to the Coastal Security Police (CSP) after preliminary investigation. The CSP will make arrangements to hand over the trawler to the owner.


Fishermen Vinu (29), Shibu (28), Anjaney (43), Gilbert (33), R Johny (39), Jeenis (18) and Anis (20) are safe.
