Radhika Menon, a captain in the merchant navy, has become the first woman captain in the world to receive the Award for Exceptional Bravery at Sea from the International Maritime Organisation.

"The sea was very, very turbulent, there was a depression... which was stagnant for two or three days and it had intensified into a deep depression," Capt Menon told BBC World News TV.

The family members of the fishermen had lost all hope and were preparing to conduct the last rituals, the report said.
