The Joint SAR team found a fisherman named Abdul Kadir (58) who lost contact while safe about three nautical miles from the location where he was looking for fish in the waters of Burung Island, Natuna Regency, Riau Islands (Kepri).

Head of the Natuna Search and Rescue Office (KPP), Abdul Rahman, said the victim was found on Wednesday 19 March at around 09.30 WIB adrift due to the dead ship engine.

"Thank you for the cooperation and support of all parties as well as, of course, good and measurable coordination and collaboration carried out by the joint SAR Team, so that the search for fishermen who had lost contact could be successful," he said confirmed in Natuna, Wednesday, March 19, which was confiscated by Antara.

Abdul, who had lost contact since Tuesday, March 18, was found complete with a pompong, then pulled using a ship owned by the community.

He hopes that similar incidents will not happen again and urge the entire community to always carry communication tools and notify their families when traveling or working, in order to facilitate SAR operations if they experience a similar incident.

In addition, he also appealed to the public to always pay attention to weather information issued by the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) before doing activities to prevent risks due to extreme weather.

"Always pay attention to the weather predictions that have been issued by the government through the BMKG and ensure the readiness of equipment, including machinery, communication tools, lighting, and other safety equipment," he said.
