He said the board would investigate all aspects, including engine problem and damage to the steering gear until it went missing after radio communication with accompanying craft KD Paus was cut off in the waters of Mengalum.
“When such a situation takes place, we must determine where the mistake is. We will investigate how it took place, why it took place and what measures can be taken,” he said.
Mohammad Rosland said this to reporters when receiving five crew members of CB204 who arrived safely at the Kota Kinabalu RMN Base in Sepanggar at 12.50pm, accompanied by the CB211 combat boat, here, today.
CB204 with seven crew, which sailed from the Kota Kinabalu RMN Base at 5am on Sunday to rotate duty with another boat operating in the Gugusan Semarang Peninjau, lost radio contact with KD Paus at 11.15am.
However, it was found on Monday evening, after being reported missing for more than 30 hours, in the waters off Mengalum, Sabah and was towed back to the base yesterday at 10pm.
However, due to health problems, two of the seven crew were flown back in a Super Lynx helicopter earlier and arrived at the base at 6.13pm yesterday (Tuesday) and were treated at the Kota Kinabalu RMN regional hospital.
