Pinoy crew of attacked vessel safe — DMW
The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) confirmed that all 12 Filipino seafarers aboard the Dutch-flagged cargo ship MV Minervagracht are safe after an attack by Houthi rebels in the Gulf of Aden on September 29.
The vessel was struck by an explosive device in international waters southeast of Yemen's port of Aden, prompting rescue through international naval operations.
Two Filipino seafarers sustained injuries, one with minor injuries and another with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, and both are considered fit to travel.
The Filipino crew members have been transported to a safer location and are scheduled for flights home, with 11 expected to arrive this weekend.
The DMW, Department of Foreign Affairs, and the shipowner are coordinating to provide comprehensive support services, including accommodation, financial aid, psychosocial counseling, and medical check-ups, and have informed the families in the Philippines.
