The Krala High Court reduced the amount of security, which MSC Elsa 3 owners must pay, container vessels that sank the coast of Kerala 25 from 9,531 Crore to 1,227.62 crore.
It is a change in his regulation of 7 July in the indictment of the admirals filed by the State Government, after which his sister ship MSC Akiteta-2 was detained in Vishinjam.
The government required Crore 9,531 GBP as compensation, especially for sea and coastal pollution and loss caused to fishermen after the sinking of the ship, after which the court ordered the conditional arrest of its sister ship until the replacement was paid.
Of this, Crore was required to compensate for damage caused by the sunken environment and 378.48 crore towards expenditures in order to prevent, minimize and eliminate environmental damage, coast and related interests in the state and restore environmental costs. Another Crore 526.51 GBP was claimed for the economic loss caused by the state fishermen.
Reducing the amount of safety and the justice bench MA Abdul Hakhim said that the averages of the government were not enough to claim to compensate 8 554.39 Crore (towards environmental damage) because the size of the environment due to oil pollution in the diameter was missing.
No document created together with the lawsuit publishes any basis for the amount to the amount and was therefore an exorbitant claim. The plaintiff, however, managed to demonstrate the discharge of oil from the vessel into the sea, which would definitely cause serious environmental pollution, she said.
Given the materials showing the extent of oil discharge from the vessel and its impact on the marine environment and the marine organisms, the 500 CRORE 500 GBP would be sufficient to protect the state interests.
The Government required the Crore 349 GBP as a replacement for economic loss of fishermen as a result of frightening the market that the court said from the ship owners. Crore 71 GBP demanded a landing loss due to a ban on fishing in the sea of 20 naval miles from Alappuzha for six months, could be required from them, the court said.
