Five crew members of a stone-laden bulkhead sinking in the outer anchorage of Chattogram port have been rescued by the Bangladesh Coast Guard, officials said.
Lt Commander Amirul Haque, media officer at the BCG headquarters, said on Friday that around 6am, MV Pinky, a bulkhead carrying stones, collided with a merchant ship at outer anchorage of Chattogram port.
When MV Pinky asked MV Nafiza Jahan for help, the latter informed Port Control, and the Coast Guard was immediately alerted, he added.
Upon receiving information around 7.30 am, a rescue team from the Patenga outpost of BCG rushed to the spot and rescued the five crew members. The vessel had completely drowned 1 nautical mile south of Gohira by then.

BRIGANTINE, NJ The Coast Guard rescued two stranded duck hunters Tuesday near Little Egg Inlet in Brigantine.
The two hunters became stranded when they disembarked their vessel to hunt on an island but were unable to recover their boat upon return.
Coast Guard Sector Delaware Bay received a call from Sea Tow at about 3 p.m. Due to the shallow water surrounding the island, Sea Tow was unable to reach the individuals.
