The Indian salvage team consisting of eight boats and 62 crew members and escorted by Indian Coast Guard Ship Rajtarang was received by Sri Lanka Naval Ships Ranajaya and Fast Attack Craft P 418 on Friday at the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL), the official added.

Thereafter, the Indian team was guided to the location for the commencement of the salvage operation under SLN supervision, he said.
