The drone operators team from the Operation and Experimentation Initiation Nucleus of Unmanned Aerial Systems of the Operational Command of Madeira (COM), took part in a search and rescue mission in the Azores yesterday.
This weekend SANAS Madeira confirmed that they had received a “distress” call from a mother who, was unable to contact her son and feared the worst, as he had gone underwater fishing, somewhere off the north coast.
A 43-year-old fisherman was rescued by the Navy this morning from the 'Lontra Marinha', who was sailing 30 nautical miles off the southeast coast, after an alert was received by the Funchal Maritime Search and Rescue Coordination Subcentre (MRSC Funchal) stating that a crew member felt unwell. The request for help was received at 10:57, and the rescued fisherman later disembarked at Caniçal pier at 1:32 pm.
