A MYSTERIOUS 1,670-dwt cargo ship navigating the Black Sea teeters on the brink of sinking, reports Bangalore's MarineInsight.
However, despite the imminent peril, the captain steadfastly declines assistance, raising suspicions that he has something to hide.
Dubbed the Amanos and flying the Tanzanian flag, this cargo vessel stands on the brink of potential disaster on the Romanian coast.
Media reports indicate that the ship operates with a crew of eight members, comprising six individuals from Azerbaijan and two Turks.
An emergency distress signal emanated from the vessel while it lay 1.5 miles from Mangalia, Romania.
The crew urgently sought aid from the Romanian Coast Guard Service, conveying that the ship's bow had sustained damage, causing water to infiltrate the vessel.
In anticipation of imminent flooding and sinking, rescue vessels were swiftly dispatched.
However, a startling turn of events transpired upon the arrival of three rescue ships - Teia, Brisco, and - at the designated location.
The ship's captain bafflingly rebuffed the rescuers' boarding attempts and adamantly declined assistance.
He asserted that the crew was capable of addressing the damage and performing minor repairs. Subsequently, the vessel veered towards Bulgarian waters and continued its voyage.
While the nature of the cargo loaded onto the ship remains a mystery, the captain's behavior has ignited many questions.
Constructed in 1978, the vessel embarked on its journey from the Izmail Port in Ukraine's Odesa region on August 14.
The ship's ultimate destination remains undisclosed, and details about its ownership are confidential.
