Trawler sinks at Mongla port, 21 rescued: Fisherman missing
A Trawler
Khulna, Oct 25 -- A fisherman went missing while 21 others were rescued after a trawler capsized on Monday evening at Mongla port as cyclone Sitrang hit Bangladesh.
The missing fisherman has been identified as Md Nayan (28) from Bhola, said Captain Shahin Mazid, Harbour Master of Mongla Port Authority.
The trawler, FB Amraful Islam Saad, sank in the Fairway Buoy area of the port amid high waves during the storm at 7.30 pm, he said.
The crew of a Marshall Island flag carrier cargo ship, Vega Stetind, spotted the trawler while it was sinking and immediately rescued the 21 fishermen, said Md Riaz, an official of the ship’s local shipping agent Toggy Shipping.
"All the rescued fishermen are from the Monpura area in Bhola and they will be brought to Mongla port through a pilot boat from the ship," said Harbour Master Captain Shahin. - UNB
