Oman’s Maritime Security Centre announced the end of the joint search and rescue operation of a capsized oil tanker on Tuesday, as per the Oman News Agency.
The search mission resulted in the discovery of 10 crew members out of which 1 had died.
With a total of 16 crew members, the Comorian-flagged MV Prestige Falcon overturned and sank in the Arabian Sea late night on July 15 with 13 Indian and three Sri Lankan nationals aboard.
The authority said it would be dealing with any potential effects of the sunken ship on the marine environment.
The vessel was headed for the Yemeni port city of Aden, according to shipping website marinetraffic.com.
