A distress call had been broadcast by the Ship. An Indian Navy warship deployed in the Gulf of Aden for maritime security operations, arrived in vicinity of the vessel in the afternoon of February 22, the Navy said on Saturday.

An Indian Naval explosives specialist team embarked the vessel and sanitised it for any residual risk. The vessel was cleared for onward transit.
