Three hours earlier the container vessel was nominated to an SAR operation off Panama's west coast where the fishing vessel had issued a distress signal in position 06 56.7 N 081 55.5 W. The container ship set course and approached the scene with full caution. Upon arriving tthe 'Angel del Mar' with four crew members on board, she was taken alongside at port side. The fishermen claimed non threat of health but completely ran out of stock of food, drinking water, lub oil and fuel. The crew instantly supplied them with the needed for eight days, and the fishing boat was relieved at noon, ready for their journey back home. The container ship resumed the voyage to Panama and reached Cristobal at 8.45 p.m. Report with photo: https://de.linkedin.com/company/nsb-niederelbe-schiffahrtsgesellschaft-mbh-&-co--kg?trk=organization-update_share-update_actor-text
