Kapal 'MOL Comfort' yang tenggelam pada 17 Juni 2013,kemudian dipelintir oleh media seolah-olah membawa bantuan senjata untuk oposisi Suriah. Pihak pelayaran "Mitsui O.S.K Lines" (MOL) melaporkan pada hari Sabtu 06/07 percikan api muncul di belahan kapal kontainer "MOL Comfort" yang tengah dipandu menuju pelabuhan terdekat. Pihak MOL langsung meminta pertolongan tim penyelamat untuk bertindak.
Info terbaru Senin 08/07, pihak Penjaga Pantai India mengirimkan kapal "ICGS Samudra Prahari" guna membantu pemadaman api yang berkobar diatas kapal. Seberapa besar dan seberapa parah, upaya pemadaman, masih terus dilakukan.
Semoga tidak terjadi hal tragis yang sangat tidak diinginkan alias tenggelam dalam perjalanan. Do your best Guys !
Berikut cuplikan foto-foto penyelamatan belahan MOL Comfort dari kepungan api yang tengah menjalar dari satu kontainer ke kontainer lainnya. Apa juga yang menyebabkan timbulnya percikan api, masih tanda tanya besar.
