The Royal Thai Navy RTN rescued all 16 crew members from the Panama-flagged general cargo vessel Sealloyd Arc that sank off Phuket at the weekend.
The Bangladeshi nationals were brought ashore uninjured following a coordinated response to the vessel's distress signal.
Sealloyd Arc , measuring 115 metres in length with a gross tonnage of 4 339 and deadweight of 6 479 tonnes, was en route from Port Klang in Malaysia to Chattogram in Bangladesh.
