13 Indians Among 16 Crew Members Missing After Oil Tanker Capsizes Off Oman

An oil tanker's entire crew of 16, including 13 Indians, went missing after it capsized off the coast of Oman on Monday, the sultanate's Maritime Security Centre (MSC) said.

The other three crew members were Sri Lankans.

A Comoros-flagged oil tanker capsized 25 nautical miles southeast of Ras Madrakah near the port town of Duqm, the MSC said in a post on X.

The port of Duqm is located on Oman's southwest coast, close to the Sultanate's major oil and gas mining projects, including a major oil refinery that forms part of Duqm's vast industrial zone, Oman's biggest single economic project.
