Following Tuesday's boat accident resulting in one fatal case due to storms and strong waves, the Royal Thai Navy Third Fleet stationed at Cape Panwa in Phuket has been announcing daily the weather condition to all ships and boats in the Andaman. According to Rear Admiral Amornchote Sujirat ( ÍÁÃâªµÔ ÊبÔÃѵ¹ì ), Chief of Staff of the Royal Thai Navy Third Fleet, the delay in the rescue operation for the sunk 'Bubble Blue' boat on Tuesday was due to it being a quick accident while the communication equipment was down. The Navy was notified of the accident two hours after it happened. He however stressed that patrol boats are always standing by at 3 locations in the Andaman Sea. They are ready to rush to a scene whenever an accident is reported.
Meanwhile the Meteorological Office advises people to check weather forecasts closely before making any journey out to sea.
