The Liberian, who is a member of the Liberian, dropped MSC Elsa 3 on Sunday around 7.50 a.m. off the coast of the state off the coast of the state of the state in the Arab Sea, almost a day after the ship developed a 26-degree starboard list for the tilt time. The crew of the ship was saved in a joint operation by the Indian Coast Guard (ICG) and the Navy, the Ministry of Defense announced in a statement.

According to a list, the ELSA 3 is operated on the company of the company of the MSC company, one of the largest shipping companies in the world.

In the middle of oil from the fuel tanks of the ship, which affect the sensitive sea ecosystem along the coast of Kerala, the ICG activated preparation for full pollution, according to the ministry. “ICG aircraft, which are equipped with advanced oil plague, recognition systems carry out the air monitoring and ICG SHIP SAKSHAM, which transport the reaction equipment for contamination, remains used at the location,” added.

According to an ICG declaration, the ship had 84.44 tons of diesel and 367.1 stove oil in its tanks together with the containers of dangerous loads and calcium carbide – a chemical that reacts dangerously with sea water to release high -flame -based acetylene gas.

The ship, which drove from Vizhinjam to Kochi on Friday, kept in one of the ships due to floods. The coast guard saved 21 of the 24 crew members of the ship – including a Russian, 20 Filipinos, two Ukrainians and a Georgian. The remaining members who stayed on board later gave up the ship and were saved by Sujata.

Bhisham Sharma, General Inspector of the Coast Guard (western region), said: “All crew remains safe and the coast guard evaluates the situation and issues advice to the state authorities.”

In the afternoon, Kerala Chief called secretary Jayathilak a meeting to evaluate the situation. According to an release from the Prime Minister's office (CMO), the ship's fuel began and that around 100 containers may have fallen into the sea.

“The ICG currently runs two vessels to prevent the oil from being spilled and a Dornier aircraft that sprays the powder on every spill.” Since the oil pollution can expand everywhere, warning warning warning was output on the entire coast of the state. “

The state government asked the public not to touch foreign objects or containers in the sea or near the coast. Those who discover such containers must choose the guidelines number 112, according to the press release. The state also banned the fishing activities within a radius of 20 nautical miles of the spot on which the ship was drowning.

The Indian National Center for Ocean Information Services (Incois), based in Hyderabad, said that the spilled oil pollution could reach the coastal section of Alappuzha, Ambalapuzha, Arattupuzha and Karunagapply within 36 to 48 hours. “These coastal zones are exposed to contamination of the risk and should be given attention immediately to minimize the potential environmental impact,” said the agency.

The agency also said that on the basis of the simulation results from its search and rescue aid (Sarat) there is a “high probability (45%) that drifted towards a region to a region that covers the entire coastal district of Alappuzha”.

In order to manage the floating containers, the state government has ordered the constitution of the RRTS (Ranid Response Teams) as part of its factory and boiler department. Two RRTs in districts south of Thrissur and one in the northern coastal districts were founded to operate cranes and other machines to manage containers in the sea and translate them into safer areas, according to the explanation of CMO.

Additional RRTs are formed as part of the State Pollution Control Board (PCB) if the oil pollution is approaching the coast. The police and the state disaster administrative authority were instructed to provide support, added them.

The administration said that the ICG, the Indian Navy and the port department were instructed to use booms and skimmer to handle and remove oil pollution.
