Crew Reviews, Ratings & Info for Batis

The cargo vessel 'Batis' has been detained by marine police and maritime authorities in Hazira after being linked to a devastating collision with a fishing trawler that resulted in the tragic deaths of two fishermen. The incident occurred approximately 64 nautical miles off the Jafrabad coast in the Amreli district. Docked in Hazira since October 29, 2014, the 'Batis' now faces serious allegations as three fishermen remain unaccounted for, while three others were rescued by a nearby fishing boat late on the evening of October 28. Investigations initiated following the collision reveal critical information acquired through a vessel traffic system (VTS) situated in Hazira, which indicated that the 'Batis' reportedly attempted to escape the scene. Rescued fishermen have identified the ship in question, and it was found bearing evident collision marks, prompting authorities to interrogate the crew of 23 over the weekend. While the captain has vehemently denied involvement in the collision, a Maritime Board official noted that the VTS data suggested attempts to obscure its location and evade detection. As the inquiry continues, the Yellow Gate police in Mumbai and the marine mercantile department are collaborating on this case, aiming to uncover the full truth behind this maritime tragedy.
