Marine Rescue NSW crews continue search for missing boater off Sydney Coast

Volunteers on board Marine Rescue NSW vessels Middle Harbour 30 and Port Jackson 31 have spent this morning (Saturday 22 July 2023) assisting Marine Area Command in the search for a missing boater off The Gap.

Marine Rescue NSW Inspector John Murray said conditions were favourable for the resumption of the search.

MH 30 and PJ 31 resumed the search at 7.30am in light winds and benign swell allowing for good visibility.

“The Marine Rescue NSW crews conducted offshore parallel line searching from South Head to Coogee,” he said.

Inspector Murray said both vessels were now patrolling the shoreline in the harbour.

MH 30 is focussing on the northern side and PJ 31 the southern side.

“The Marine Rescue NSW vessels are working their way west towards the Harbour Bridge.

“Both vessels are expected to conduct another offshore patrol at the request of the Marine Area Command later this afternoon,” Inspector Murray said.
