As per the media reports on monday in a swift sea-air coordinated operation, Indian Coast Guard successfully intercepted and detained a foreign fishing vessel of Iranian nationality off Kerala coast, west of Beypore, with 6 Indian crew employed on contractual basis at Iran.
According to reports, the crew said the sponsor had been ill-treating them since the day they were hired and had not provided them with basic living conditions. They also accused the sponsor- named Syed Saud Ansari of having confiscated their passports. The crew subsequently decided to escape from Iran to India using the same boat, the officials said.
As per the media reports the vessel was promptly brought to Kochi, where it will undergo further investigation to ascertain the veracity of the claims and ensure appropriate measures are taken.
The interception highlights the importance of maintaining maritime security and upholding the rights and welfare of crew members operating in international waters. The ICG’s decisive action underscores their dedication to enforcing maritime laws and regulations to safeguard the well-being of seafarers.
