Astoria Ship Details and Seafarer Feedback

On September 6, 2021, Captain Chalong Labanluang and the dedicated crew of the bulk carrier 'Rattana Naree' performed a remarkable rescue, saving six Indonesian fishermen who were stranded at sea. The incident occurred between Tioman Island and the Riau Archipelago during the early hours. Upon spotting the distressed fishermen, the ship's crew promptly organized a rescue operation to bring them on board. They were given immediate medical attention, alongside essential provisions such as food, water, and dry clothing. The fishermen had been adrift since their boat capsized in rough seas on September 1. Later that evening, the crew safely transported them to Batam Island, ensuring their safe return to land.
