The Indian Coast Guard rescued all 23 crew members from the chemical tanker MT Seagull 9 after an engine failure and ballast-tank flooding caused the vessel to list off Paradip.
The Indian Coast Guard said it had rescued all 23 crew members from MT Seagull 9 off India’s Odisha coast. The Belize-flagged chemical tanker was carrying about 9,000 metric tonnes of palm oil when it issued a distress call on September 27 after its main engine failed and a ballast tank began flooding.
