Volunteers from Marine Rescue Ulladulla conducted a contour search on Burrill Lake this afternoon after an unmanned four to five metre runabout was located near Kings Point.
Marine Rescue NSW Inspector Stuart Massey said a volunteer crew on board Ulladulla 10 spent more than an hour on water searching.
“Under the direction of Marine Area Command our crews searched the waters around where the unmanned vessel was found but did not locate anything out of the ordinary.
“The UL 10 crew was stood down at 4:20pm and has now returned to base.
“We understand that there have been no reports of a missing person,” Inspector Massey said.
Marine Rescue NSW urges all boat owners to check that their vessel is moored correctly.
“Ropes age with the weather and can become brittle, please check the condition of your lines so that your vessel remains secure,” Inspector Massey said.
