Sri Lanka Navy swiftly responded
to a maritime distress of the passenger ship Perl Link, which overturned at sea
on 12 Jul 25, while carrying a party of local tourists from Delft Island to
Kurikadduwan Jetty. Responding swiftly to the occurrences, the Sri Lanka Navy
rendered aid to evacuate all twelve (12) tourists and two (02) crew members on
board and brought them ashore unharmed.
When SLNS Wasaba in Delft Island
was notified of the sinking passenger ship in the surrounding waters, a naval
vessel equipped with life-saving equipment was sent out right away. All
fourteen (14) people were safely recovered and taken to Kurikadduwan Jetty with
the help of another nearby boat.
According to reports, the
catastrophe happened on the way back from Delft Island, causing the passenger
vessel to be flooded by seawater and ultimately sink.
The swift response of the Sri
Lanka Navy in this specific situation guaranteed that there were no casualties
or injuries, and they maintain a high level of preparedness for maritime
emergencies.
