Fourteen Indian nationals are evacuated after a vessel experiences an engine failure off the coast of Oman, according to reports from multiple outlets. The incidents involve rescue efforts conducted by maritime patrol authorities in the region. Accounts say the crew abandons the vessel and transfers to a life raft that is deployed by a maritime patrol vessel. The evacuation process brings the affected passengers and crew to safety, with authorities coordinating the response at sea. The reports do not indicate any specific injuries or fatalities, but they describe the situation as an offshore emergency linked to the vessel’s loss of power. The cases are presented as part of standard maritime assistance procedures carried out when vessels encounter mechanical problems while operating in international waters near Oman. Further details on the vessel’s identity, the exact location, and the condition of those evacuated are not consistently provided across the reports.
