The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said on Sunday that the captain and crew of a vessel 96 nautical miles (around 178 kilometers) southeast of Yemen's Nishtun town were forced to abandon ship after it suffered flooding that could not be contained.
The crew has been recovered by an assisting ship while the abandoned vessel remains adrift, it added.
