What Crew Members Say About Saga-Enterprise

The saga of survival continues as the heroic rescue operation of the 15 seafarers from the stranded vessel 'Bahari Nusantara' reaches a significant milestone. After being rescued by the 'Saga Enterprise', most of the survivors, composed of 15 crew members from China and Indonesia, embarked on their journey home from Réunion Island on November 22. They were transported to Roland Garros Airport in Sainte-Marie. Out of the original group, two individuals decided to stay behind on the island, with one receiving medical care in a local hospital. The 'Bahari Nusantara' found itself in dire straits when its engine room suffered flooding, leading to its abandonment. The crew endured an incredible ordeal, spending 17 grueling days adrift on a liferaft designed for just ten people, relying on their will to survive until the timely intervention of the 'Saga Enterprise'. The rescuers quickly transferred the stranded seafarers to a lifeboat of the SNSM (Société Nationale de Sauvetage en Mer), where they were subsequently met by local authorities and emergency services for support and care.

In a remarkable rescue mission that took place during the night of November 19, 2012, the cargo ship 'Saga Enterprise' saved 15 castaways from a liferaft, located 140 miles south of La Réunion. The fishermen, hailing from China and Indonesia, found themselves in peril after their vessel, the Indonesian fishing boat 'Bahari Nusantara', sank following a catastrophic explosion on November 3. The ill-fated ship had departed from Mauritius on October 3. Following their rescue, the survivors were transported aboard the 'Saga Enterprise', which was en route to La Réunion. Upon arrival in the East Port zone, the men were set to be transferred to the 'SNSM2' with assistance from the Coastguard, ensuring their safe return after their harrowing ordeal.
