Indian Coast Guard Rescues Chemical Tanker Off Odisha Coast, Prevents Capsizing
The Indian Coast Guard rescued the Belize-flagged chemical tanker MT Seagull 9, carrying 9,000 tonnes of palm oil and 23 crew members, after it developed engine failure and rapid ballast tank flooding about 37 nautical miles off Paradip, Odisha. The ICG deployed ICGS Vishwast and a specialist damage control team that stabilized the vessel by arresting leaks and sealing damaged pipelines. Pollution control vessels and aerial surveillance ensured environmental safety. The tanker was later towed safely to anchorage, preventing capsizing and pollution risks.
