The ship was en route from Haldia to Santos. The information was first received by Coast Guard Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC) in Chennai, who passed it to the Operations Centre of Coast Guard DHQ-6 at Vizag. DHQ-6 commenced operation to evacuate the 32-year-old ailing crew member Dela Cruz Whilvin De Guzman , the Chief Officer, who required urgent medical help, as his condition was deteriorating fast.
