At 05h30 on Saturday 30 November, NSRI Durban launched the sea rescue craft MEGAN II to respond to reports of a boat capsized in the harbour entrance with 3 local men onboard, aged 31, 28 and 52.
The Police Sea Borderline craft also responded and rescued all 3 men bringing them to our sea rescue base and NSRI Durban assisted to right the boat, together with the Durban Marine boat MULLETT, which brought the casualty boat into Port where she was recovered.
It appears that the casualty craft motor had stalled causing the boat to be swamped by waves before capsizing.
None of the 3 men were injured and they required no further assistance.
