Marine Rescue Moama crews to continue search for missing boater Thursday

Two Marine Rescue NSW vessels and almost a dozen volunteers from Marine Rescue Moama will tomorrow continue the search for a missing male boater last seen on the Murray River near Five Mile boat ramp just before 7:30pm Tuesday 14 January.

Marine Rescue NSW Inspector Stuart Massey said volunteers from the Moama unit were stood down for the day at 6:15pm Wednesday.

Our crew resumed the search at 7am on board Marine Rescue NSW vessel Moama 20 before switching craft and using a six-metre flat bottom punt rescue vessel X 20 to assist Victoria Police divers.

X 20 provided a solid platform for Victoria Police divers with all their equipment to search the waterway and will do so again tomorrow.

“Both Moama 20 and X 20 will resume the search at 8am tomorrow (Thursday 16 January) while the Marine Rescue Moama base is being used a command post by police,” he said.

“Boaters are being reminded that a section of the river will be closed while divers are in the water,” Inspector Massey said.
