Mumbai tragedy: How mariner saved 56 people using boat that had capacity for 12

India Today  

A delay in the loading of cargo on a ship at Mumbai's Jawaharlal Nehru Port may have saved the lives of several passengers who were on the ill-fated tourist ferry that sank on December 20. It was due to this delay that Captain Anmol Shrivastava, a ship pilot, reached the spot within minutes of the incident, saving 56 people using his boat that had a capacity of just 12. Captain Shrivastava, who is responsible for guiding large cargo ships in and out of the Jawaharlal Nehru Port, was on duty on Wednesday. The Jawaharlal Nehru Port Authority has announced that Captain Shrivastava would be felicitated for his exceptional bravery and service on Republic Day.
