Tugboats sail from Dubai to rescue stricken tanker

Two tugboats from Dubai will reach the stricken tanker Everton today to help in the rescue attempt as Omani naval vessels conduct a massive search for a Filipino Second Officer still missing at sea.

A representative of the Greek-owned vessel told Gulf News that a search is also underway for the Taiwanese-flagged fishing vessel which slammed into the tanker earlier on Monday morning, setting of a huge blaze.
