Maritime law enforcement, rescue, andstand-off duty for India’s waters
The MT Marivex has been struck by a U.S. Navy jet while attempting to pass through the Gulf of Oman, disabling its engines and steering. All 24 Indian crew are evacuated safely with help from Oman, Indian, and U.S. authorities. CENTCOM says the tanker will no longer sail toward Iran as it is prevented from continuing through the blockade.
Two crew members from the cargo ship MV Ocean Winner have been rescued. A search-and-rescue operation is ongoing for the remaining crew, with three ships deployed by Indian authorities. The vessel, carrying iron ore for China, sank in the Bay of Bengal about 444 km from Paradip, Odisha.
