Navy turns saviour in Gulf of Aden yet again, rescues Iranian vessel

New Indian Express  

NEW DELHI: The Indian Navy’s prompt action in response to a distress signal from an Iranian vessel has led to the rescue of a hijacked vessel and its crew. The Indian Navy’s Offshore Patrol Vessel, INS Sumitra, while deployed for Anti-Piracy Operations along the East coast of Somalia and the Gulf of Aden, received a distress call about the hijacking of an Iranian flagged fishing vessel, FV Iman. The Navy stated in a release, “Upon intercepting the vessel, INS Sumitra followed established Standard Operating Procedures to coerce the pirates into releasing the crew and the boat safely, achieving the successful liberation of all 17 crew members and the boat.” Subsequently, the Navy confirmed that the FV was thoroughly checked and cleared for onward journey. INS Sumitra, along with other warships and surveillance aircraft, was deployed in the region in late December due to a rise in maritime security incidents involving merchant vessels passing through international shipping lanes.
