Forward Seamen's Union traced ship location
There were rumors that the US attacked the vessel after contact was lost due to a faulty radio.
The Forward Seamen's Union of India got worried when they couldn't reach the crew but later tracked down the ship's exact location, putting safety concerns to rest.
This update comes after recent attacks on other Indian-linked ships in the region, so it's a relief to hear this one is safe and sound.
