A kamsarmax bulk carrier that operates in the fleet of Greece’s Moderna Marine Management has become the lifesaver of 30 fishermen who were at risk of drowning off the island of Pedra Branca near the entrance to the Singapore Strait.
According to Maritime & Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), its Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) was notified just after sunrise on Tuesday by the Hong Kong-registered container ship Cosco Development that an Indonesian-flagged fishing vessel, the Facific Memory II, had capsized.
