“The Indian Coast Guard ship C-148, which was coming back from patrol, rushed to help when it sensed that the passengers were in trouble.” When the ship reached the boat in trouble, it sent a team to cool down the passengers, get things back to normal, and make sure the boat got back to the harbor safely. The Coast Guard said in a statement that when the ship arrived, all of the passengers and crew were given medical help.

The owners of Nerul Paradise thanked the Indian Coast Guard, saying, “We are grateful to the Indian Coast Guard for their quick and professional response in this critical situation.” Without a question, what they did saved the lives of all 26 people on our ferry.
