Nine crew from oil tanker that capsized off Oman have been recovered, India states

At least nine of the 16-member crew of a Comoros-flagged oil tanker that capsized off Oman on Monday have been recovered, said government and navy officials from India, which has been helping with search and rescue operations.

The "Prestige Falcon", a 117-metre oil product tanker, was heading to the Yemeni port of Aden with a crew of 13 Indians and three Sri Lankans when it capsized off Oman's major industrial port of Duqm.

Those recovered so far include eight Indians and one Sri Lankan, an Indian Navy spokesperson said on Wednesday.

"The search and rescue by Indian and Omani assets is being undertaken in challenging weather conditions as the area is experiencing rough sea and strong winds," the spokesperson said.

Indian government officials added that the search for the remaining crew members would continue in the area.

Duqm port, located on Oman's southwest coast, lies close to its major oil and gas mining projects.
