Ship sank off Mukalla
On Sep 14, 2016, at 3.30 a.m. the "Rigel A", loaded with 1700 tons food, issued a distress signal after having suffered water ingress off Mukalla in the Gulf of Aden. The ship was moored on the anchorage off Mukalla at the Yemen coast and had suffered a two-meter-long breach in the engine room. Attempts to pump out the water failed, and the crew of eight abandoned the vessel into a life raft. Among them were two Syrian and six Indians. When the crew was rescued by the Coastguard, the ship was half submerged, and a few hours later, at 6.05 a.m., it fully disappeared from the surface. The crew was in good health and transported to the local hospital for medical examinations.
