On 1 February 2015, JAMCC received a 406-MHz alert transmitted by a Japanese fishing vessel.
The vessel had a registered EPIRB and the Cospas-Sarsat supporting alert data led the JCG to dispatch a patrol vessel and an aircraft to the scene.
233 NM south-southeast of Daio Headland, Mie Prefecture in Japan, they found and rescued all twenty-eight crew members from the OTOSHIROMARU No.7, which had been taking on water.
