Yesterday afternoon the National Sea Rescue Institute received a report from a Captain that a fishing vessel Amber Rose was sinking.
Brad Geyser from NSRI said the vessel had 12 crew on board was taking in water 15 nautical miles South of Cape Point.
Geyser says the trawler could not stay afloat for longer than an hour and luckily there was another fishing trawler close by which assisted them to pump water from Amber Rose.
Geyser said they managed to pump the water from Amber Rose in 15 minutes. The owners and crew are going to fix the vessel today.
