The Indian Coast Guard on Sunday rescued six crew members from a cargo vessel that capsized nearly eight nautical miles off the Beypore coast.
The rescue operation took place with the support of Coast Guard Interceptor Boat C-404 around 3 a.m. when the crew members of MSV Malabar Light were drifting in the sea in a lifeboat.
Beypore port authorities said the vessel was en route to Androth in Lakshadweep with livestock and construction materials. The ship capsized following flooding in the engine room.
