Bulk carrier tried to flee from Indian waters

The captain of the "Dynamic Striker" has confessed that they were trying to flee from Indian waters and moving towards Port Fujiriyah in the United Arab Emirates. When asked why they did this despite several warnings issued by the Port Trust, the Coast Guard and the navy, Sergiy said that he was only following the orders of his superiors from the shipping company that owns the ship. A team from the Ukraine consulate general’s office visited the Yellow Gate police station along with its lawyer. They were allowed to meet the arrested accused and they were satisfied with the investigation being carried out. The other three arrested — the vessel’s radio officer, deck officer and chief engineer — were arrested as they did not try to stop the captain despite knowing that several alerts and signals were sent by maritime and security agencies.
