The maritime rescue coordination centre in Mumbai received a request from the master of the vessel to evacuate two of their crew members, who were injured, while working on the deck of the ship.
While they were provided first-aid on the ship, their injuries were severe.
&ldquo;After ascertaining the medical emergency on board, the vessel was directed close to Mumbai shore as it was the closest port and a coast guard ship on patrol was sent to the vessel and at the same time, a helicopter was readied for the rescue operation,&rdquo; said Commandant Deepak Sharma, regional PRO.
Both men rescued were first flown to INS Shikra at Colaba and then subsequently rushed to Saifi hospital for further medical assistance. &ldquo;Both are stable now,&rdquo; added Sharma.
