In a swift and coordinated operation, the UAE Coast Guard successfully rescued all 24 crew members aboard the oil tanker ADALYNN following a maritime collision in the Sea of Oman, authorities confirmed on Tuesday.

The incident occurred approximately 24 nautical miles off the UAE coastline, where ADALYNN collided with another vessel under yet-unconfirmed circumstances. In response, the UAE Coast Guard—part of the National Guard—immediately deployed search and rescue teams to the scene.

All crew members were safely evacuated and transported to Khorfakkan Port without reported injuries. Emergency medical personnel were on standby as the rescue teams docked.

Officials praised the speed and professionalism of the rescue operation, which ensured the safe transfer of the entire crew amid potentially dangerous conditions.

An investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the collision and assess any environmental impact, especially considering the vessel’s cargo of oil.

The incident highlights the UAE’s strong maritime safety infrastructure and rapid response capabilities, especially in high-risk waters such as the Sea of Oman, a critical international shipping lane.
