The ship was transporting, besides the crew, 35 liters of oil from Chabahar, Iran to the Maldives islands, at Argentina therefore the terrorists demanded 400 billion dollars and the withdrawal of the Diego Garcia military base. Russian satelittes found the ship on the arabian sea, allowing an easier action by the countries of the region.

The resolution took by the comittee involved the movement of two vessels and one submarine from the Diego Garcia base of the US with special forces and anti-bomb forces while India moved one vessel and one submarine, also with troops. The vessels pretended to cooperate with the terrorists and the submarines used the EM Pulse — short burst of electromagnect energy — to neutralize the ship’s system. The submarines went under the sea and invaded the ship to save the hostages, defeat the terrorists and retake the ship. The operation was successful and the cooperation of the States of CICA saved the lives of a lot of civilians.
