Turkmen rescue units received a distress signal from the vessel and promptly launched an SAR operation. The crew of Iranian and Indian nationality, was safely taken ashore to receive medical assistance and complete immigration and security procedures, indicated the Turkmen authorities involved in the operation. The Turkmen authorities announced that they were continuing their investigation and cooperated with Iran to clarify what happened and determine the fate of the sunken vessel. The ship had made multiple voyages between Iranian and Russian ports in the preceding months. This route coincides with the main maritime corridor used for transporting Iranian arms to Russia.
