Abandoned Trawler Saved and Now in Cape Town

The rescue of the distressed and abandoned fishing trawler Kostar (IMO 9202687) in the middle of the South Atlantic, was satisfactorily concluded at the weekend.

Thanks to supertug, SA Amandla, the FV Kostar was saved from a watery grave after being left adrift when her crew abandoned her. This after she became immobilised after suffering rudder and mechanical failure about 2200 nautical miles south West of Cape Town.
