The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) coast guard rescued a fishing boat and its five crew members on Friday after receiving reports at the Rosignol Police Station at 14.45 hrs.

Indeed, the Fisheries Department of the Ministry of Agriculture received a formal report from the owner of a fishing boat about 15.15 hours the same day that he had lost contact with his crew and boat.
The owner reported that the boat with five crew members left on June 7, last at 6.00 hours and was expected back at 19.00 hours the same day. However, the boat and its crew did not return at the expected time and he had not heard from them.

It turned out that the boat was not attacked by pirates, but had experienced engine trouble. The boat was assisted back by another vessel from the Rosignol Fisherman’s Cooperative Society.
