MV Hope's 2nd officer arrives home
The second officer of Bangladeshi cargo vessel MV Hope, which tilted in the Andaman Sea off Thailand's coast early July 4, reached home yesterday after receiving treatment in a Thai hospital for 21 days.
Mohammad Mobarak Hossain reached Dhaka at noon on a Thai Airways flight from Bangkok and arrived at Chittagong Shah Amanat International Airport in the afternoon, said Mohammad Musa, brother-in-law of the victim.
Mobarak, along with two other crewmen Raek Fairooz and Mushfiqur Rahman, were rescued from the sea by the crew of merchant vessel, MV Bux Lagoon, on July 5, a day after the ship tilted. Since then, Mobarak had been treated in a hospital at Phuket.
Nine of the 17 crewmen of the ship were rescued alive, while the bodies of two were recovered. The six others, including the captain, are still missing.
