All 15 crew have been rescued from a sinking offshore support vessel (OSV) off the US.

The 500-gt life boat Ram XVIII (built 2015) started taking on water on Sunday off Grand Isle, the US Coast Guard said, according to the Nola website.

The USCG took nine people off the vessel and the 400-gt OSV Starfleet Guardian (built 2015) picked up the other six.
