WATCH: Indian Coast Guard rescues crew from sinking ship in Arabian sea

The Indian Coast Guard (ICG) on Wednesday rescued all 22 crew members of a vessel that was flooded mid-sea near Gujarat’s Porbandar coast.

The maritime law enforcement agency swung into action after receiving flooding distress alerts from the crew of MT Global King. It diverted its assets including merchant ships and its newly-commissioned ALH Dhruv choppers to carry out the rescue operation.

The vessel had left from Khor Fakkan in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and was on its way to Karwar in Karnataka, when there was sudden, uncontrolled flooding on board, prompting the crew to initiate a distress call. It was carrying 6,000 tonnes of Bitumen, a semi-solid form of petroleum also known as Asphalt, onboard.
