All 13 seafarers have been rescued from a sinking asphalt tanker off India.

The Indian Coast Guard (ICG) said the 1,900-dwt Reem 5 (built 1983) had suffered engine room flooding in bad weather en route to Gujarat on Thursday morning.

The ICG coordinated the rescue, diverting a general cargoship to pick up the men, 389 km from Okha.
