As part of the rescue, the container ship joined Combined Maritime Forces (CMF), United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) and regional Maritime Rescue Coordination Centres, completing a safe operation.

According to a statement, NYK EAGLE was navigating the ocean when it received a request from CMF to assist a sinking vessel nearby.
