THREE boats carrying a total of 214 people have been intercepted off Australia's north-east coast since Friday.
The boats were carrying between 54 and 101 people each.
HMAS Maryborough, operating under the Australian Maritime Safety Authority's Rescue Coordination Centre (RCC), helped a vessel that sought assistance north-east of Christmas Island early on Saturday.
The vessel had earlier been detected by a Customs and Border Protection surveillance aircraft.
Initial indications suggest 54 passengers were on board.
On Friday a boat carrying 101 people was intercepted north of Christmas Island by HMAS Pirie, operating under the Border Protection Command, after being detected by an RAAF maritime patrol aircraft.
Border Protection Command said 97 passengers and four crew were on board.
A third boat carrying 56 passengers and three crew was intercepted by HMAS Bathurst northeast of the Ashmore Islands, also on Friday.
Passengers from all three boats will be transferred to Christmas Island for the usual security, health and identity checks.
