Almost a month after the Singapore vessel, which was loaded by the Wan Hai 503, it aroused from the coast of Keraly, the vessel continues to be bothered, giving fire and smoke and the famous stormy weather and rain in the Arabian sea. Although the vessel is approximately 130 naval miles from the Indian coast, beyond the Indian exclusive economic zone (EEZ), the vessel remains a high density corridor, requires continuous traffic warning to passing vessels.
The plan is not sent
The evaluation of the rescue team (T&T salvage) emphasized the need for refuge because the removal of fuel from the vessel at sea remains dangerous. However, the owner and sleeping of the ship must submit to the Indian authorities a detailed plan for the transfer of fuel and move the vessel to the refuge. If there is a delay in rescue operation, the vessel must be pulled away from its current position according to the report of the General Directorate for transport, which is about 200 naval miles away from the Indian coast.
It is also necessary for the on -board fire to be fully contained before it reaches the refuge. According to the latest report, the temperature to the left and to the right of the 64 ° C and 68 ° C container and 68 ° C. In an interview with Hindu, Senior, the ship’s crew said the weather in the Arab Sea is the main obstacle to fire and smoke retention. Hidden weather with wind, occasionally throwing at 100 km/hour, adds fuel to the fire. Furthermore, it is not possible to apply a fire extinguisher from the top of the ship, as helicopters can only carry a limited amount. Many containers have unmounted costs, which contributes to the suffering of firefighters, he said.
“Best option”
As the fire spreads to petrochemical products, it is difficult to retain them, Sekhar Kuriakos, a member of the State Secretary for the Management of Keral disaster. Monsoon rain does not help to contain fire. “The best option is to find the first before the hull breaks down. Due to the current position of the ship, navigation on the coast of Africa would be ideal,” Mr. Kuriakose said. It was June 9, when the Singapore vessel witnessed an explosion of containers causing a significant on -board fire, about 44 naval miles from Azhikkal. The whole ship was absorbed by fire.
