Chilean Navy ship assisted disabled fishing vessel
The crew of the Chilean Navy supply ship "Almirante Montt" assistied the stranded "North Isle" in the afternoon of April 18, 2016, at the entrance to the Strait of Juan de Fuca off Port Renfrew. The ship had called for help on its radio after suffering a blown hydraulic line. The damaged line, which operated the ship’s net-recovery system, could not be cut free, and its submerged nets were greatly hampering maneuverability and passage through the water. The "Almirante Montt" was on patrol in the vicinity and responded to the request for assistance. They arrived on the scene at 5:30 p.m. Four Chilean sailors, with the necessary tools to make repairs, sped off to the fishing vessel via a Rigid Hulled Inflatable Boat (RHIB) Working with the crew, the sailors successfully installed five new hydraulic connectors. The "Almirante Montt" stayed on scene until after midnight when the "North Isle" was able to successfully recover its nets and get underway.
