A big update has come out regarding the British oil tanker Marlin Luanda.  The Indian Navy said that the fire that broke out in Marlin Luanda has been brought under control.  This is the same tanker on which 22 Indians are aboard.  The fire fighting team from INS Visakhapatnam, consisting of 10 Indian Navy personnel with specialist fire fighting equipment, boarded the ship on 27 January.  After 6 hours of struggle with the crew of the MV, the fire brigade has successfully brought the fire under control.  Also said that the team is currently monitoring the situation.
Captain Avinash Rawat, the master of MV Marlin Luanda, on Saturday thanked the Indian Navy for its help in extinguishing the fire on his ship following a missile strike by the Houthis in the Gulf of Eden.
Rawat said, “Half of the world knows that yesterday we were struck by a missile in the Gulf of Aden. Due to the attack, our vessel was on massive fire. I would really like to thank Indian warship INS Visakhapatnam…,”
"We had lost hope, but these (Indian Navy) guys have done a tremendous (firefighting) job. They really went out of the way to help us out."
