一艘悬挂Gabon国旗的油轮“Parth”号沉没，印度海岸警卫队救出19名船员，其中包括19名印度人和一名埃塞俄比亚国民。

“Parth”号建造于2008年，船长102米。

该船于9月16日星期五晚上在距离Ratnagiri海岸线仅41海里处沉没。

据悉，该船载有3911公吨沥青，由阿联酋的科尔法坎驶往新芒格洛尔。

当天上午9点23份，船上船员报告称船舶进水严重。

海上救援协调中心已接到求救电话，立即启动救助准备工作营救船员。

Sujeet和Apoorva是巡逻该地区的两艘海岸警卫队船只。

两船立即被派往事故发生地，救助遇险船员，报告称，当时遇险船员在焦躁不安中等待救援。

当附近商船接到有关情况的警报时，派出了一架轻型直升机，集装箱船MV Wadi Bani Khalid号也向帕尔斯提供了援助。

它于中午12点30分抵达，海岸警卫队船只Sujeet也抵达。直升机几分钟后抵达，救援行动开始。

因船舶随时可能沉没，所有船员选择弃船。

据海岸警卫队IG Manoj Baadkar称，压载水舱进水导致该船的沉没。

渔业部门通知渔民，漏油可能会从Devgad扩散到Malvan地区。

Indian Coast Guard saved 19 people, 19 Indians and an Ethiopian National, from a sinking vessel, the Motor Tanker Parth, sailing under the flag of Gabon. The 2008-built ship sank on Friday, the evening of 16th September, just 41 nautical miles from the coastline of Ratnagiri. 

The 102-metre ship was carrying Asphalt Bitumen 3911 MT and was headed to New Mangalore from UAE’s Khor Fakkan. The vessel crew reported flooding at 9:23 am. The Marine Rescue Coordination Centre geared up to rescue the crew members as soon as they received the distress call.

Sujeet and Apoorva were the two coast guard vessels patrolling the area. The two ships were sent to aid the restless crew of Parth, waiting to be saved.

As nearby merchant ships were alerted of the situation, a light helicopter was sent, and the container vessel MV Wadi Bani Khalid also turned to Parth’s aid. It arrived at 12:30 pm, as did the coast guard vessel Sujeet. The helicopter reached in a few minutes, and rescue operations commenced.

The crew left the ship as they felt it could sink at any time. Per the Coast Guard IG, Manoj Baadkar, water ingress in its water ballast tanks led to its sinking. 

The fisheries department informed the fishermen as there might be oil leakage which could spread from Devgad to Malvan regions.
