Search and Recovery Operation for Morning Composer Crew Near Durban

May 04, 2010 09:53

On the early morning of May 1, 2023, a critical emergency unfolded as the Subtech tug "Reier," returning from Richards Bay, initiated a search operation for the captain and his wife of the MV Morning Composer (IMO 9336074). At approximately 02:30, the tug overheard a distress call from the Morning Composer reporting a man overboard to Durban port control. Demonstrating swift action, the "Reier" altered its course towards the troubled vessel and promptly notified Port Control of its readiness to lead the search efforts. The crew of the "Reier" was immediately assigned as lookouts, while searchlights were activated to maximize visibility in the dark waters. Additionally, a National Ports Authority (NPA) helicopter joined the ongoing operation, enhancing the search efforts with aerial support. By 03:30, search efforts bore fruit as several life jackets were discovered, which the "Reier" successfully retrieved from the water. The helicopter then had to return to port for refueling, yet the tug continued its dedicated search, maintaining a position to facilitate the helicopter's revisit. Upon the helicopter's return, tragedy struck when the first body was located just 70 meters from the "Reier." The National Sea Rescue Institute (NSRI) was promptly contacted to recover the deceased. Shortly thereafter, a second body was discovered, which the NSRI also retrieved. This operation underscores the remarkable collaboration between vessels and rescue operations in the maritime community, as well as the tremendous challenges faced during emergencies at sea.
