The PMSA air assets searched the area for the boat and it was traced on morning of August 13 and its position was passed to the PMSA ship. The ship battled extremely rough seas but managed to pass a tow to the unmanned boat. Subsequently, the boat was towed back to Gwadar West Bay and returned to the owner.
The operation by PMSA was appreciated by the local community.
