Indian Coast Guard rescues 15 Syrian mariners off New Mangaluru

Mangaluru, June 22 (IANS): Responding promptly to an SOS call, the Indian Coast Guard rescued 15 crew members of a merchant ship that had run aground off New Mangalore.

In a prompt and swift search and rescue mission, the Indian Coast Guard saved the lives of 15 Syrian nationals working on the foreign flag ship M V Princess Miral, which ran aground off New Mangalore on Tuesday.

The rescue mission was coordinated by Indian Coast Guard ships 'Vikram' and 'Amartya' braving the rough weather condition. The crew of the grounded vessel has abandoned the ship due to breech in hull and ingress of water in holds. The vessel was bound for Lebanon from Malaysia.

The successful operation reaffirms Indian Coast Guard's capabilities as the nodal agency for search and rescue operations in the Indian Ocean Region, a note issued by the ICG stated.

    I am not sure whether their ship went toground and now they may go back.However we saved them from danger .Now left to them to make best out of their situation without biting to the hand which gave hostage.I would also understand if they ask Asyl ,because their country is so disolated and torn out at present hard to live there.No stone is over other .

    Hope they wont criminalize the seafarers for no mistake of theirs. Perhaps some decent accomodation could be given rather than criminal detention centres. Praying for their release.

    Hahah, they are seamen, if you know what I mean. They might pray day and night to go back to Syria rather than being treated as a hostage.

    This is a very heartening piece of news. Good job by ICG. Hats off to them. The familieas of the crew will be so very happy to know that their kin is safe albeit in a foreign shore. As a ex mariner, I can understand what they must be going through.

    So many ships have ran aground or sank around New Mangalore coast. Is it safe for other ships coming to New Mangalore port and fishing vessels ?
