Dorian Robertson, NSRI Richard’s Bay station commander, said; “At 16h31 on Friday 16 September NSRI Richard’s Bay volunteer duty crew were activated following eye-witness reports of a suspected body seen floating in the Richard’s Bay harbour entrance.<\/p>\n
“Our NSRI volunteer duty crew launched our sea rescue craft SPIRIT OF ROUND TABLE and a Transnet National Ports Authority helicopter, in the air in the vicinity at the time, and the SA Police Services assisted.<\/p>\n
“On arrival on-scene an extensive search commenced and during the search, in reasonably rough sea conditions, on finding no sign of a body the only explanation was floatation buoys positioned near the entrance of the harbour that may have been mistaken for a body floating near the entrance.<\/p>\n
“The by-standers were consulted and it appears that this may have been the case.<\/p>\n
“No persons have been reported overdue or missing and we believe this case to be a false alarm with good intentions.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
