the letter from Amar Singh Thakur, the General Secretary the
Maritime Union of India is as follows:
We are indeed proud and privileged to know that Iranian Port
Rescue Team have conducted rescue
operations to evacuate and bring 27 Seafarers to safety when
the vessel Al Salmy 6 capsized.
The Search and Rescue Operations, conducted in heavy seas
have proved to be a life saver.
We acknowledge that amongst them 16 Seafarers are Indian,
and all those rescued are being taken
care of in Asalouyeh Port. We pray for the one missing
Seafarer.
We appreciate the seriousness with which Iranian Merchant Mariners
Syndicate (IMMS), alongwith
the Iranian Administration is playing a very important role
of ensuring welfare of Seafarers as
always.
We look forward to a stronger IMMS in the coming years under
your able leadership.
MUI continues to offer its solidarity always, and look
forward to further strengthening our bond for
welfare of Seafarers.
Thank you all once again and Wish You the Best
Always.
