The navy got the news of the vessel, responded to the distress call, and the Pakistan Maritime Information Centre also requested a close-by merchant vessel named the “MT KRUIBEKE” to aid the stranded crew members of the Indian ship. The statement mentioned that the merchant vessel ultimately saved nine crew members and carried on with the voyage to the next port at Dubai and onward disembarked the crew members.

Simultaneously, two helicopters and one vessel of the Pakistan Navy also reached the spot and located the body of a missing crew member at the time of the ship’s sinking.

The statement added that the Pakistan Maritime Security Agency (PMSA) authorities took over the body for advanced proceedings.
