How is the SAR operation, mounted following the disappearance of a sailor in Chubut


“Once the news was received at the Puerto Madryn Naval Prefecture, the rescue operation was mounted considering the position of the fishing vessel Nuevo Viento at the time the missing crew member was last seen and the time of the complaint by the captain. Own resources were assigned to the place and given the legal obligation to provide collaboration that every ship that navigates in waters where a SAR operation is carried out has, several fishing boats were ordered to join”, they indicated from the Prefecture.

When asked regarding the scope of the search for Ferreyra, the prefects explained: “Each SAR operation is different, but in general what is taken into account as a basic rule is the weighting of the specific situation of the case. It is not the same to look for crew members who are supposed to be in a lifeboat in calm waters than to look for a shipwrecked person adrift in a cold and rough sea, since the chances of survival are different. However, in this specific case, more than 72 hours following the disappearance of Ferreyra, he is still being searched for, betting on his finding alive”.

The Derbes coast guard ship will continue to be involved in the operation until the authorities determine otherwise, the prefectural authorities reported. So far there are 18 ships affected by the operation.

The Maritime Authority also indicated that, once the “New Wind” is released from the search tasks of which it is a part, must return to port leaving the entire crew -including the captain- at the disposal of Federal Court No. 2 of Rawson by Dr. Gustavo Lleral.
