The Indian Coast Guard reported on Tuesday that a joint search operation with the Indian Navy has found no trace of the Panama-flagged cargo ship MV Ocean Winner, which sank in the Bay of Bengal last Saturday, approximately 276 miles (444 kilometers) from India’s eastern Odisha state coast. The search, involving aircraft and ships, has only yielded an oil slick and two life rafts near the vessel’s last known position. The deep waters of the search area have complicated rescue efforts, and the absence of wreckage has hindered authorities’ ability to determine the cause of the sinking and to focus search operations effectively.

The MV Ocean Winner was transporting iron ore to China and had a crew of 24, comprising 20 Chinese nationals, three Myanmar nationals, and one Bangladeshi. Despite the ongoing search, 22 crew members remain missing. Two Chinese crew members were rescued on Saturday following a distress call from the ship, according to the coast guard. Source
