All the crewmembers who abandoned the 'Desh Vaibhav' after a tank explosion have reboarded the ship, and the tanker will soon be headed for port. SCI asserted that it was fully manned and operational. The ship was drifting in the Gulf of Oman, 75 miles off Muscat, after on Aug 14 at 9.35 a.m. it suffered an explosion in a cargo tank. The fire was quickly extinguished with assistance from the Omani Navy, but three individuals were left missing and one was flown ashore for medical treatment. Conflicting accounts of the crew's status emerged on Aug 15: SCI said in a statement that two casualties were reported and sent ashore, and one injured crewmembers is currently being treated at a hospital in Muscat. However, UAE media reported that three crewmembers were rescued by good samaritan ships and had been hospitalized in Oman.
