Indian Coast Guard Rescues Crew and Stabilizes Tilting Tanker Off Paradip Coast
The Indian Coast Guard rescued 23 crew members from the Belize-flagged chemical tanker MT Seagull 9, carrying 9,000 tonnes of palm oil, after its main engine failed and ballast tanks flooded off Paradip, Odisha. The vessel developed a dangerous tilt about 37 nautical miles from shore. A specialist damage-control team boarded the tanker, using pumps and sealing damaged pipelines to stabilize it. Pollution control vessels and aerial surveillance ensured environmental safety. The tanker was later towed to Paradip for repairs.
