Iranian emergency companies rescued 21 Sri Lankan crew of a ship that capsized in heavy storms within the Gulf of Oman, state media reported Wednesday.
The Cook dinner Islands-flagged vessel carrying oil went down about 50 kilometres (30 miles) off the southern metropolis of Jask, mentioned the official IRNA information company.
“A rescue vessel was dispatched to the world and 21 crew have been saved,” Mohammad Amin Amani, director of Jask Ports and Maritime Administration, was quoted as saying.
“5 individuals who wanted medical consideration” have been handled by Jask emergency companies “and the bodily situation of those sailors is nice,” he added.
