MUMBAI, 12 March, 2021 (TON): The officials said on Friday, the Indian Navy rushed to aid a stranded navy cargo ship, M.V. Nayan with most onboard failed pieces of equipment sailing from Oman to Iraq.
On 9 March, the cargo ship while on its voyage drifted out at the sea after its propulsion, power generation machinery, navigational and other equipment failed, which had 7 crew members on board. It sent out an SOS call.
In response, deployed in the Gulf of Oman, the Indian Naval Ship INS Talwar made a preliminary assessment about the situation and dispatched its Visitor Board, Search and Seizure team, and a technical team by boat to help the stranded ship.
For working over 7 hours, the teams were successful in restoring its two generators, steering pump, seawater pump, compressor, and main engine, making the vessel seaworthy again.
