Cruise ship rescued capsized fishermen

While sailing in the Java Sea off Indonesia, the 'Eurodam' M came upon a capsized Indonesian fishing boat with four crew members clinging to it. The boat containing a crew of 16 had developed problems four days ago and had subsequently capsized. The crew had attempted to swim for shore, a distance of 15 miles. When some realized they were unable to make it, they swam back to their capsized boat. The cruise ship launched their fast rescue boat and was able to pick up and rescue six crew members, two of them located a distance of one mile away from their fishing boat. Ten crew are still missing. The six rescued fishermen were transferred to an Indonesian Coastguard station.
