After bringing all crew members into the ‘citadel’, the master of the Golden Arsenal sought help from the Indian Navy, which responded swiftly to the distress call (Representative image) NEW DELHI: On July 1, an attack by pirates on an India-bound bulk carrier, Golden Arsenal, in the Gulf of Aden was foiled after the captain moved all crew members, including an Indian seafarer, into the vessel’s “citadel” and sought assistance from the Indian Navy.A citadel is a fortified safe room with essential supplies such as food and water, as well as communication equipment, where crew members can take refuge during a pirate attack. The pirates failed to breach the citadel and eventually fled the vessel.Sharing this incident at the National Port Security Conference this week, Captain Vikram Singh Manhas, deputy nautical adviser at DGMA (maritime regulator), urged all crew members and masters to remain vigilant and follow preventive measures prescribed under best management practices (BMP), amid a rise in piracy incidents.Four vessels are held hostage by Somali pirates at present, three of which have Indian crew members aboard.One of the vessels has one Indian seafarer, while the other two have five and 11 Indian crew, respectively.Highlighting the significance of prevention in such cases, Manhas said that once a vessel is held by pirates, everything is dependent upon the negotiations with the pirates and that the government is working to ensure the safe release of Indian seafarers.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesIn the direction of ensuring their safety, the government is set to launch a dashboard on August 15 to track every Indian seafarer on any ship. Additionally, shipping and ports minister Sarbananda Sonowal Saturday launched e-Samudra, a digital platform integrating services for seafarers, shipping companies, ports and other maritime stakeholders, and said, “Every Indian seafarer must be safe, respected and supported as India strengthens its position as a global maritime power.”Get the latest India News and Live updates.

After bringing all crew members into the ‘citadel’, the master of the Golden Arsenal sought help from the Indian Navy, which responded swiftly to the distress call (Representative image) NEW DELHI: On July 1, an attack by pirates on an India-bound bulk carrier, Golden Arsenal, in the Gulf of Aden was foiled after the captain moved all crew members, including an Indian seafarer, into the vessel’s “citadel” and sought assistance from the Indian Navy.A citadel is a fortified safe room with essential supplies such as food and water, as well as communication equipment, where crew members can take refuge during a pirate attack. The pirates failed to breach the citadel and eventually fled the vessel.Sharing this incident at the National Port Security Conference this week, Captain Vikram Singh Manhas, deputy nautical adviser at DGMA (maritime regulator), urged all crew members and masters to remain vigilant and follow preventive measures prescribed under best management practices (BMP), amid a rise in piracy incidents.Four vessels are held hostage by Somali pirates at present, three of which have Indian crew members aboard.One of the vessels has one Indian seafarer, while the other two have five and 11 Indian crew, respectively.Highlighting the significance of prevention in such cases, Manhas said that once a vessel is held by pirates, everything is dependent upon the negotiations with the pirates and that the government is working to ensure the safe release of Indian seafarers.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelinesIn the direction of ensuring their safety, the government is set to launch a dashboard on August 15 to track every Indian seafarer on any ship.

The Airbus A320 with 145 people on board had encountered severe turbulence near Odisha and then suddenly dropped 300 feet. NEW DELHI: The captain operating Air India’s turbulence-hit Phuket-Delhi flight on Tuesday (Aug 4) reportedly tested positive in a psychoactive substances (dope) test conducted on arrival, according to multiple sources. The airline did not confirm or deny it, saying that while the tests were conducted, the results have not been shared with it.“We are aware that a post-flight screening test was conducted on the pilots in accordance with applicable protocols. However, the results of the test have not been shared with Air India, and we are therefore not in a position to comment on any findings,” an AI spokesperson said.Join conversationView All Comments →Share your thoughts in the commentsInsightfulAgreeDisagreeSkepticalConcerningPromisingWorth ReadingBig DevelopmentPost CommentBe respectful · TOI community guidelines“Air India undertakes regular drug testing of crew members in compliance with civil aviation regulations, independent of any specific flight or operational incident.
