The tanker\u00a0Aisopos\u00a0subsequently rescued two survivors from life rafts.\n\n\n\nThe Indian Coast Guard deployed three ships to continue searching for the remaining 22 crew members. \n\n\n\nThe International Transport Workers\u2019 Federation said its thoughts were with the families of the missing seafarers and called on Panama, the vessel\u2019s flag state, to urgently investigate the sinking.\n\n\n\nThe casualty comes amid renewed attention on the risks posed by cargo liquefaction aboard bulk carriers, although there has been no official determination of what caused the\u00a0Ocean Winner\u00a0to sink.\n\n\n\nLiquefaction occurs when moisture in certain bulk cargoes causes material that appears solid to behave more like a liquid. The resulting cargo movement can quickly destroy a vessel\u2019s stability and, in severe cases, cause it to capsize with little warning. Iron ore fines are among the cargoes that can be susceptible to the phenomenon.\n\n\n\nThe International Association of Dry Cargo Shipowners, INTERCARGO, warned in its latest casualty report that cargo liquefaction remains the deadliest hazard facing the bulk carrier sector.\n\n\n\nSeventeen bulk carriers of 10,000 deadweight tons or larger were lost worldwide between 2016 and 2025, resulting in 71 seafarer deaths. Cargo liquefaction accounted for 37 of those fatalities, more than half of all lives lost during the decade.\n\n\n\nThe\u00a0Ocean Winner\u00a0casualty follows the sinking of the 56,000-dwt\u00a0Devon Bay\u00a0earlier this year while carrying nickel ore. Two seafarers were confirmed dead and four remained missing when INTERCARGO published its casualty report. Initial statements from survivors of the\u00a0Devon Bay\u00a0indicated excessive moisture in its roughly 55,000-ton nickel ore cargo may have caused the load to shift suddenly to port amid rough seas, according to the Philippine Coast Guard. Authorities stressed at the time that liquefaction was only the initial suspected cause.\n\n\n\nINTERCARGO has repeatedly urged shipowners, operators and seafarers to exercise extreme caution when carrying nickel ore, bauxite, iron ore fines and other cargoes susceptible to liquefaction, particularly when loading during wet conditions.\n\n\n\nDespite those risks, the industry\u2019s overall safety record has improved significantly. INTERCARGO says the rolling 10-year average of annual bulk carrier losses continues to decline even as the global fleet grows, attributing the improvement to better ship design, regulatory compliance, crew training, operational experience and technology.\n\n\n\nFor the families of the\u00a0Ocean Winner\u00a0crew, however, attention remains focused on the ongoing search for the 22 missing seafarers.\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\tEditorial Standards \u00b7 Corrections \u00b7 About gCaptain\t \n\n\n\t\tSubscribe for Daily Maritime Insights\n\t\tSign up for gCaptain\u2019s newsletter and never miss an update\n \u2014 trusted by our 104,489 members" ], "output": "readability", "pwd": "/data/archive/1787796820.175423", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-08-27T02:15:10.756437+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ], "screenshot": [], "singlefile": [], "title": [ { "cmd": [ "curl", "--silent", "--location", "--compressed", "--max-time", "120", "--user-agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 ArchiveBox/0.7.4 (+https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/) curl/curl 8.14.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)", "https://gcaptain.com/ocean-winner-sinking-leaves-22-seafarers-missing-in-bay-of-bengal/" ], "cmd_version": "curl 8.14.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)", "end_ts": "2026-08-27T02:15:10.747610+00:00", "index_texts": null, "output": "Ocean Winner Sinking Leaves 22 Seafarers Missing in Bay of Bengal", "pwd": "/data/archive/1787796820.175423", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-08-27T02:15:10.724158+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ], "wget": [ { "cmd": [ "wget", "--no-verbose", "--adjust-extension", "--convert-links", "--force-directories", "--backup-converted", "--span-hosts", "--no-parent", "-e", "robots=off", "--timeout=120", "--restrict-file-names=windows", "--warc-file=/data/archive/1787796820.175423/warc/1787796898", "--page-requisites", "--user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/118.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 ArchiveBox/0.7.4 (+https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/) wget/GNU Wget 1.21.3", "--compression=auto", "https://gcaptain.com/ocean-winner-sinking-leaves-22-seafarers-missing-in-bay-of-bengal/" ], "cmd_version": "GNU Wget 1.21.3", "end_ts": "2026-08-27T02:15:10.701391+00:00", "index_texts": null, "output": "gcaptain.com/ocean-winner-sinking-leaves-22-seafarers-missing-in-bay-of-bengal/index.html", "pwd": "/data/archive/1787796820.175423", "schema": "ArchiveResult", "start_ts": "2026-08-27T02:14:58.327035+00:00", "status": "succeeded" } ] }, "icons": null, "is_archived": true, "is_static": false, "latest": { "archive_org": null, "dom": null, "favicon": "favicon.ico", "git": null, "media": null, "pdf": null, "screenshot": null, "singlefile": null, "title": "Ocean Winner Sinking Leaves 22 Seafarers Missing in Bay of Bengal", "warc": null, "wget": "gcaptain.com/ocean-winner-sinking-leaves-22-seafarers-missing-in-bay-of-bengal/index.html" }, "link_dir": "/data/archive/1787796820.175423", "newest_archive_date": "2026-08-27T02:15:12.589250+00:00", "num_failures": 0, "num_outputs": 6, "oldest_archive_date": "2026-08-27T02:14:57.625629+00:00", "path": "/ocean-winner-sinking-leaves-22-seafarers-missing-in-bay-of-bengal/", "schema": "Link", "scheme": "https", "snapshot_id": "d85982fd-700b-48f2-a3c8-cb3cf36484b0", "sources": [ "/data/sources/1787796820-import.txt" ], "tags": null, "tags_str": "", "timestamp": "1787796820.175423", "title": "Ocean Winner Sinking Leaves 22 Seafarers Missing in Bay of Bengal", "updated": "2026-08-27T02:14:57.625280+00:00", "updated_date": "2026-08-27 02:14", "url": "https://gcaptain.com/ocean-winner-sinking-leaves-22-seafarers-missing-in-bay-of-bengal/" }
