Euphoric event has ended up in the bitter drama in highseas, which both countries could've avoided!
The MV Suez’s 22-member crew, including six Indians, were on Sunday transferred to a Pakistani warship when the Egyptian merchant vessel, which was recently released by Somali pirates after payment of ransom, began taking on water in the Arabian Sea.
MV Suez was on its way to the Omani port of Salalah when it ran out of fuel and began taking on water in stormy weather, Geo News channel quoted its sources as saying.
On getting a call for assistance, Pakistan Navy chief Admiral Noman Bashir ordered the vessel’s crew to be shifted to the frigate PNS Babar, which was escorting it.
The Egyptian owners of the Suez had abandoned its crew and the vessel.
The Suez’s captain had also opened the vessel’s valves to scuttle it, the channel reported.
