When IN saves 100's of ships then its normal and once it couldnt come for rescue as it is far away and PN has saved it, PN becomes great.
Till now PN is nothing, now it equated IN with 1:100 .

Both Indian navy and PN can make these waters safe.
Good job PN.
Cheers
DNA has choosen a bad word 'Ditches'. Why a navy would dicth a ship under stress.
Where they (InN) on the move towards the ship, did they recieved SOS, did they ignored the call, did they simply refused to help when they were at an actionable range? Things to ponder.

Did MV Suez rebuff India's help warship?
TNN | Jun 17, 2011, 01.57am IST
NEW DELHI: After all the hullabaloo over why India had not promptly dispatched a warship to protect MV Suez during its passage to Salalah port in Oman, missile frigate INS Godavari did sail close to the merchant vessel on Thursday but got no response from it.
Sources said the reason for the "rebuff" could be "competitive politics" since MV Suez, owned by an Egyptian company and captained by a Pakistani national, is now being escorted by Pakistani warship PNS Babar.
The entire drama over MV Suez, which has six Indians among its 22-strong crew, began on Monday after it was released by Somali pirates following the payment of a $2.1 million ransom.
Indian crew members and their families on Wednesday accused Indian Navy of not responding to their pleas for help after the merchant vessel was threatened once again by pirates. Pakistan, in contrast, rushed PNS Babar to escort MV Suez.
The government, however, said its Navy had "actively coordinated" with other foreign navies in the region to ensure "cover" to MV Suez from Tuesday itself. The only Indian warship deployed in the Gulf of Aden, INS Godavari, was at that time busy escorting two other merchant vessels, with 21 Indians on board them, through the Gulf of Aden.
On Thursday morning, INS Godavari tried to repeatedly raise MV Suez over the "mercantile marine band Channel 16" after closing in to its location but the ship's captain chose not to respond.
"After confirming MV Suez was safe and being escorted by other warships, INS Godavari continued with its original task of escorting the two other vessels. The Navy is continuously assessing the situation and monitoring all developments," said a source.
India, incidentally, had earlier blamed the owners of MV Suez for ignoring the Navy's advice to provide "an armed protection detachment" as well as a tug for technical support for its vessel.

MV Suez gives Indian Navy the cold treatment
A day after the Indian Navy ignored repeated calls for help by MV Suez, the ship released by the Somali pirates on Tuesday, the merchant vessel, today, gave the Navy a cold shoulder.
The merchant vessel did not respond to calls by INS Godavari - a Navy warship - which was dispatched last night by the Navy to escort MV Suez.
"On reaching MV Suez, INS Godavari made every effort through all available means and channels to communicate with Suez. However, the Master of MV Suez, didn't respond," the Navy said in a statement.
"After confirming that MV Suez was safe and was being escorted by other warships of coalition forces deployed in the Gulf of Aden, the Navy Ship continued escorting two other merchant vessels in the Gulf of Aden, whilst at the same time monitoring its transit in coordination with other navies," it said.
Indian government and the Navy had drawn flak from all corners for not helping out MV Suez sailors even after it came under a fresh attack by the pirates after its release.
The government had earlier put the onus of security on the owners of the ship. It is in fact Pakistan's PNS Babar that came to the rescue of the ship by providing cover for the Suez.
The merchant vessel was attacked by pirates earlier this week, causing fresh trauma for the 22-member crew that were first taken hostage last year. The crew, which includes six Indians, spent nine months in captivity.
Wasi Hasan, the Pakistani who captains the Suez, had said the crew may have to abandon the ship and hitch a ride with the PNS Babar. "The boiler in the engine room is not working, so our speed has slowed down from 15 knots to 8 knots," he told NDTV. He also said that there is eight tons of diesel left on board, not enough to get the Suez to the port of Salalah in Oman.
The Suez has four Pakistanis, one Sri Lankan and 11 Egyptians besides the Indian sailors on board.
The pirates who had taken the crew hostage had demanded 2.1 million dollars more after an initial ransom was paid. Mr Hasan says one million was paid by the ship's owner and the rest was raised in Pakistan by rights activist Ansar Burney.
The owners of the ship told NDTV yesterday that they had approached the Indian government for help. In an email to NDTV, a senior company official said, "I've contacted the (Indian) Navy, but there's no response. I have called them so many times." He says Indian officials advised him to "call the NATO hot line and ask if they have any war ship in this area for escort."

Hats off to our pathetic Indian media who once again made a mountain out of a mole and made jokers out of the IN.
The media have no idea how military services operate, but they managed to collect some sound bites from here and there and made a story that Indian Govt is ditching its own civilians. The merchant vessel was Egyptian flagged, so by default Egyptian Navy should take lead in the rescue followed by Pakkstan Navy, Indian Navy, Srilankan Navy and other navies to which the crew members belong to.
IN is part of a world wide coalition and they are responsible for saving any ship from pirates, no matter it has Indian crew members or not. They cannot just ditch other ships and race across to save a ship just because it contains some Indian crew members, thats against the spirit of the coalition. Indian Navy did a great deal in tackling the piracy by rescuing many ships including a Chinese Vessel and arrested a couple of pirates. One cannot just ignore these and badmouth IN. From now on IN should go to press about each and every vessel that they save, so that people are well aware of IN's operation.
PN did a commendable job, but you were doing nothing more than what was expected out a coalition partner.

Whatever lets thank pak Navy wholeheartedly for bringing the sailors home. There were only 4 pak nationals so we should appreciate them.
Also Ansar Burney trust paid $ 2.5 million randsome. The pak navy doctors gave our sailors treatment and food.
Our Govt didn't care about the sailors and let them fend for themselves. May be they felt that its not an international issue and put the onus on the owner.
Sometimes it seems to me that what Afridi said that Indians are not large hearted as pakistanis is sometimes proven to be true.
Well its another feather in cap of achievements of pak navy. Thanks pak navy.

I praise the PN for helping but as an international ship it has the duty to do so anyways. All I am saying is it looks like this incident is being used as a cheap PR stunt to discredit IN and is overlooking the enormous efforts made by IN over the years of anti piracy ops which have saved dozens of Pakistani and other nationals over this time. Why no reportage of this? Again- "man bites dog" scenario.
