أَنْقَذَ خَفَرُ السَّوَاحِلِ فِي الْإِمَارَاتِ ٢٢ شَخْصًا عَرَبِيًّا بَعْدَ حَرِيقٍ فِي سَفِينَةِ شَحْنٍ. وَقَعَ الْحَرِيقُ يَوْمَ الْأَحَدِ، الثَّامِنَ مِنْ نُوفَمْبَرَ، فِي بَحْرِ عُمَانَ.

عِنْدَمَا بَدَأَ الْحَرِيقُ، أَبْلَغَ طَاقَمُ السَّفِينَةِ خَفَرَ السَّوَاحِلِ. وَسَارَعَتْ فِرْقَةُ الْإِنْقَاذِ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ، ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَتِ الْأَشْخَاصَ مِنَ السَّفِينَةِ. وَنَقَلَتْهُمْ إِلَى مَكَانٍ آمِنٍ.

قَالَتِ الْجِهَاتُ الْمَعْنِيَّةُ إِنَّ الْجَمِيعَ كَانُوا فِي حَالَةٍ مُسْتَقِرَّةٍ بَعْدَ الْإِنْقَاذِ. وَبَحْرُ عُمَانَ مَمَرٌّ مُهِمٌّ لِلسُّفُنِ التِّجَارِيَّةِ. وَفِي أُكْتُوبَرَ، أَنْقَذَ خَفَرُ السَّوَاحِلِ ٢٢ شَخْصًا آخَرِينَ مِنْ حَرِيقِ نَاقِلَةِ نَفْطٍ فِي الْخَلِيجِ الْعَرَبِيِّ.
