Indian Navy Rescues 9 Crew Members From Capsized Oil Tanker Off Oman, 1 Dead
The Indian Navy’s warship INS Teg successfully rescued nine crew members from the capsized oil tanker MV Prestige Falcon.
The Comoros-flagged tanker capsized about 25 nautical miles southeast of Ras Madrakah.
The MV Prestige Falcon, a 117-meter oil product tanker, was en route to Yemen’s port of Aden with a crew of 13 Indians and three Sri Lankans.
The area has experienced rough seas and strong winds, which have complicated rescue efforts.
The search for the remaining six crew members continues, with Indian and Omani forces deployed despite the harsh weather conditions.
