Yesterday in Knysna the National Sea Rescue Institute went to assist the fishing trawl called Umpho.

NSRI spokesperson Craig Lambinon said they were 15 nautical miles off Knysna. Umpho had 8 crew on-board, reporting to have their fishing nets fouled in their motor propellor and although in no forthcoming danger, in calm sea conditions but they required assistance.

NSRI diver managed to rescue the vessel and the fishermen continued fishing.
