PNS – (Special Correspondent / Web Desk) – The Pakistan Navy carried out a swift PNS Hunain rescue dhow crew operation this week, saving all 20 Pakistani sailors rescued Arabian Sea waters after their cargo dhow started sinking east of Ormara. The vessel was taking on water fast when its crew sent out a distress call for help.
The alert reached the Joint Maritime Information Coordination Centre right away. Naval officers wasted no time. They sent PNS Hunain, along with air support, straight to the ship in trouble.
The dhow was in bad shape. Heavy flooding had already spread across the vessel. Every minute mattered for the men trapped on board.
Navy teams worked fast and stayed calm under pressure. They reached the sinking dhow and began pulling sailors to safety one by one. Within a short time, all 20 crew members were off the ship and out of danger.
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) shared the news in a public statement. It praised the navy and coastguard teams for their quick thinking and steady hands during the rescue.
According to the statement, the entire mission ran smoothly from start to finish. No lives were lost, and every sailor made it out safely.
Once rescued, the crew did not go without care. Navy staff gave them medical checks right away. Anyone who needed treatment received it on the spot.
This rescue shows how ready Pakistan’s maritime forces stay, day and night. The navy and coastguard often work side by side during sea emergencies, and this case was no different.
Officials said the mission proves their strong grip on safety at sea. They also said their teams can respond fast, no matter the time or weather.
The Arabian Sea sees heavy ship traffic all year. Cargo dhows, fishing boats, and large vessels pass through often. This makes fast rescue teams a must for the region.
Sea accidents can turn deadly within minutes. Flooding, engine failure, or rough weather can put any crew at risk. That’s why groups like the Pakistan Navy stay alert around the clock.
This latest rescue near Ormara adds to a growing list of successful sea missions by Pakistan’s forces. Each one builds public trust in their ability to protect sailors and ships passing through local waters.
Local sailors and fishing communities often depend on quick navy support. Many small dhows travel far from shore for work, which raises the risk when something goes wrong.
The safe return of all 20 crew members brought relief to their families. Many had waited anxiously for news once word of the sinking dhow spread.
Pakistan’s coastal forces continue to guard busy shipping lanes near Ormara and beyond. Their fast action during this rescue stands as a clear example of their daily commitment to saving lives at sea.
