As conditions eased on the morning of 11 July 2025, Sea Angel was towed to Campbell Bay harbour. The vessel was successfully escorted without injury to the crew, marking a well-executed rescue under challenging circumstances.

The successful rescue reflects the Indian Coast Guard’s unwavering commitment to maritime safety in the Indian Ocean Region.
