The MV Gautam had seven crew members on board, including six Indian nationals and one Indonesian. The vessel encountered a critical technical failure while traveling from Oman to India.

In response to the distress call, the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre in Mumbai contacted Pakistani authorities for assistance. The Pakistan Navy dispatched the ship PMSS Kashmir to locate the distressed vessel.

Upon reaching the scene, the Pakistan Navy provided essential humanitarian aid, including food supplies and medical assistance. Medical staff conducted health screenings to ensure that no sailors were suffering from dehydration or injury.

This rescue effort prevented a potentially dangerous situation from escalating further in open waters. Officials noted that this successful intervention serves as a reminder of how functional cooperation at sea can prevent potential maritime disasters.

This incident follows a similar event last month where the Pakistan Navy evacuated 18 crew members from another merchant ship. Search and rescue operations in the northern Arabian Sea often require cross-border communication despite broader diplomatic tensions.
