Maritime SAR nominated for dramatic effort – Sveriges Radio

The two tourists were killed in the heavy seas where it went over four meters high waves. Henrik Zadig from sjöräddarna in Yngsjö, who was the commander at stake this summer, remember well the search which lasted several hours.

– Our boat is eight meters long, and when the boat stood nearly straight up, we were in the middle of the scale recalls Henrik Zadig.

When this kind of alarm comes in, it is a rush down to the station and what to pick with the Havängs beach. Both are trained for this type of mission, and in this call-out was the first on the scene along with a helicopter.

– It was just to focus on the task and meet up with the other crew members and prepare based on the information we got, says Anders Cederholm.

the water, which washed over the crew, was unusually warm this August day and there was no problems with visibility. Despite this, it was impossible to find the sought-after.

– The hope abandon a no, you want to find something,

After the tragic event had sjöräddarna help to go through the events and their thoughts and feelings about what happened.

It is with mixed feelings that the duo have faced the nomination of the year in maritime SAR. Both agree, however, that the good cooperation between maritime rescue, millitär, police and helicopter contributed to the nomination.

– It feels great to be nominated for we did what we could and our best, says Anders Cederholm.
