When an Indian ship stranded in the Arabian Sea sought help, the Pakistani Navy came forward, know the whole matter
The Pakistan Navy responded to an Indian merchant ship in the Arabian Sea with a distress call. It provided food, medical aid, and technical assistance to the ship's crew.
The Pakistani Navy has assisted an Indian ship stranded in the Arabian Sea due to a technical fault. The MV Gautam, a merchant vessel returning from Oman to India, had requested assistance after experiencing a technical problem. According to Reuters, the Pakistani Navy responded quickly to the request and provided food, medical assistance, and technical support to the crew.
According to reports, on May 4th, while the ship MV Gautam was in Pakistan's search and rescue zone, it encountered a technical problem. Afterward, it contacted the Maritime Rescue Coordination Center in Mumbai and requested assistance. The center contacted Pakistani authorities and requested assistance, prompting the Pakistani Navy to launch a rescue and relief operation. The Pakistani Navy deployed PMSS Kashmir for this operation. The ship had a total of seven crew members on board, including six Indians and one Indonesian national.
India's response
According to sources, the Indian Coast Guard's regional headquarters in Gandhinagar was notified of the incident at 11:22 pm on May 4. An investigation revealed that the ship lost all power on May 3 due to a generator failure. At the time of the incident, the ship was in Pakistan's search and rescue zone. It subsequently slowly moved toward the Indian maritime border and reached a position approximately 262 nautical miles from the Dwarka Lighthouse.
The Indian Coast Guard deployed its ship, ICGS Rajratan, to assess the situation. Later investigation revealed that MV Gautam's communications systems were severely limited, with only its VHF radio and AIS systems operating on battery backup.
India has also been helping
India has also been providing assistance to ships stranded at sea. Last June, the Indian Navy rescued 18 crew members from the Singapore-flagged cargo vessel MV Wan Hai 503, which had caught fire after an internal explosion of a container in the Arabian Sea. The distress signal was received by the Indian Navy's Information Fusion Centre Indian Ocean Region (IFC-IOR) at around 9:30 am. Acting swiftly, the Navy deployed INS Surat and a Dornier maritime patrol aircraft in coordination with the Indian Coast Guard, Directorate General of Shipping, and other maritime stakeholders.
