Free from pirates, MV Suez runs out of fuel

KARACHI: Human Rights activist Ansar Burney announced on Saturday that although technical faults in the MV Suez ship released by Somali pirates had been fixed, the ship had run out of fuel.
Speaking to Express 24/7, Burney said that if fuel is not supplied to MV Suez in the next 24 hours, all of its crew will have to be rescued. The Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul-Ebad was informed about the predicament as well as the rescue of the MV Suez.
Pakistani Naval Ship, PNS Babur, is escorting the MV Suez, while a helicopter is watching over it. The Governor was told that nine naval commandos are also on board the MV Suez to guard the released sailors and that food and medicines are also being provided to them.
On Friday, Islamabad accused an Indian Navy warship of hampering the humanitarian operation being carried out by the Pakistan Navy to rescue an MV Suez that was released by Somali pirates this week.
A statement issued by the Foreign Office said Pakistan lodged a protest with the India government on an incident that occurred on June 16 when an Indian Navy Ship Godavari not only hampered the humanitarian operations being carried out by Pakistan Navy ShipBabur, but also undertook dangerous manoeuvres during the course of the incident.
