A French container ship, CMA CGM Otello, rescued 11 sailors of an Indian cargo vessel which sank 40 km off the coast of Vizhinjam early on Saturday. At around 6.50 a.m., the Indian Coast Guard Service's Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) in Mumbai received a message from the captain of the French ship that he had spotted an Indian “wooden sailing boat with 11 fishermen on board capsized and drifting 90 nautical miles west of Thiruvananthapuram.” On the MRCC's request the French ship rescued the sailors. The cargo vessel, Ave Maria, had set sail from Tuthukudi in Tamil Nadu on November 23 carrying vegetables and fruits to the Republic of Maldives. At around 4.30 a.m. on Saturday, the radar mast of the 150 m long vessel broke and fell on its deck. Immediately, water flooded its hull and the ship, having a total displacement of four tonnes, started sinking.
