Ahmedabad: From a sinking ship in the Arabian Sea, off the coast of Gujarat, the Indian Coast Guard rescued 12 crew members, PTI reported, citing the force's account on Sunday.

According to a Defence release, the Mumbai-based ICG Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) made a distress call around 11 am on Saturday, and the coast guard engaged.

It was reported that the Motorised Supply Vessel (MSV) was heavily flooded and sinking. Those got rescued from the vessel were its crew and Indians, and they were taken onboard Motor Tanker (MT) Searanger.

The call was made regarding uncontrolled flooding onboard Indian MSV, 'Nigahen Karam', which was on her passage to Djibouti.

The release said that post the distress alert, the MRCC informed all the vessels operating in the vicinity of the spot and coordinated with MRSC (Maritime Rescue Sub Centre), Porbandar, to divert a Motor Tanker (MT) Searanger to provide immediate assistance to the sinking ship.

The release said, "In addition, the ICG ship 'Sarthak' operating in the area was also diverted, and the ICG fast interceptor class of ship C-152 was immediately sailed from Vadinar (in Devbhumi Dwarka district of Gujarat)."

"The crew members were transferred from MT Searanger to the ICG ship and brought to Vadinar. After a preliminary medical investigation, they were handed over to the owner of the vessel," the release read.
