The Indian Navy performs an operation that contains fire aboard the MV Wan Hai 503 off the coast of Kerala. (
Containers that fell overboard from the Singapore flooring MV Wan Hai 503 are probably washed on the coast of Ernakula, Alappuzha and Kollam between June 16 and June 18. After the explosion, the container ship lit at sea.
The Office for the Catastrophe administration in Kerala (KSDMA) issued an update on Saturday with a citing Coast Guard and the international owners of the Limited Tanker Pollution (ITOPF). The public was recommended that it be kept away from the suspicious building found on the coast.
A distance of at least 200 meters should be maintained from them, KSDMA said. The Office urged people to draw attention to the authorities of their presence on the emergency number 112. It should be remembered that in May, similar counseling was issued in the case of MSC Elsa.
Meanwhile, the Navy said the MV Wan Hai 503 is currently in 1,000 meters of sound line (depth) at a distance of about 45 naval miles from the coast. According to the Navy, the ship is pulled into deeper waters.
The ship is stable, but with tilting to the harbor and smoke still rising.
Tug Offshore Warrior pulls a ship. The Saksham Coast Guard supports the tug that continues to function without disturbance, the Navy said.
The Coast Guard said on Saturday that it worked closely with the General Directorate of Transportation to ensure that the container vessel remains at least 50 naval miles from the Indian coast.
The Coast Guard said it intends to ensure that this distance is maintained “until the ship’s owners are in line with internationally accepted practices to decide on the appropriate fate.”
Rescue operations moved in a large way after the trailing line of the vessel was successfully transferred from the ships of the coastline to the ocean retracting of the Offshore warrior.
Meanwhile, the KSDMA has developed a web application based on GIS to collect information about debris from two disasters in transport. The application has been developed with ESRI India Ltd. Details of a person who saw a piece of debris, location, closest monument, district, object type (whether they are pellets or closed or partially open containers and other wreck materials) and photo can be lost using an online KSDMA reconnaissance form.
