A PN ship, along with two helicopters, arrived in the area and located the body of a crew member, according to a statement.
The Pakistan Navy on Wednesday saved nine crew members from an Indian ship after it drowned in the Arabian Sea near Gwadar, according to a statement issued by the Director General of Public Relations (Navy) on Thursday.
The ship ‘Jamna Sagar’ sank with 10 crew members on board on Tuesday (Aug 9), the navy spokesman said in the statement.
“The navy immediately responded to the distress call and the Pakistan Maritime Information Center requested a nearby merchant ship ‘MT KRUIBEKE’ to provide necessary assistance to the stranded crew of the drowning sailing ship,” the spokesman added.
“The merchant ship eventually recovered nine crew members and continued the voyage to its next port of call Dubai and then disembarked the crew.”
The statement added that a Pakistan Navy ship, along with two helicopters, arrived in the area and located the body of a crew member who had gone missing when the ship drowned.
His body was recovered and handed over to Pakistan Maritime Safety Agency (PMSA) authorities for further proceedings, he added.
