Those who entered life rafts were safely transferred to nearby rescue boats, the Coast Guard said.

USCG crews are still on scene to help account for all people aboard the vessel.

The Coast Guard identified the stricken vessel as the Rem Andes, an 88-meter research and survey ship that was traversing the Gulf under a Cyprus flag.

Bravo to the Coast Guard. It's good to know they are out there.

So many questions

ETA: from NOLA . cm
Rem Offshore, a Norwegian shipping company for offshore energy projects, lists the Rem Andes on its website as a seismic survey research vessel built in Poland in 2012.

Oil and gas? Other?
