Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency acting director-general Vice Admiral Saiful Lizan Ibrahim said the crew had been identified as Indian nationals Satyam Tripathi, 26, and Dinesh Kumar Chauhan, 34, while the third was Ukrainian Sabit Shenderovskyi, 37. “However, the amount of oxygen supply depends on the size of the room. If the size is small they may last a day. If the room is large they may last a few days,” he said during a press conference at the Johor Maritime Headquarters today.Saiful said there were a total of 28 crew members on board the ship that reportedly caught fire at about 3pm yesterday. Twenty-five of them were rescued while rescuers were still trying to find the remaining three.
“In addition, we will also seek the services of the Fire and Rescue Department’s Hazmat team to enter the ship, which is still filled with smoke tomorrow in an effort to conduct a search on board, given that there is a possibility that the three may be still trapped inside,” he said.
