Ship Fire: ICG, Navy and IAF execute high -risk operations; Tow Burning Singapore’s ship away from the coast. Bharat News
In a significant success in Singapore-Flagged MV Wan Hai 503 firefighting and Salvage Missions, Indian marine forces successfully transferred the tug control of a hungted container vessel to the tug, offshore warrior to an ocean on 13 June. The Indian coast guard (ICG), which had been holding the vessel from the Kerala coast for several days, faced a fresh challenge, as the winds in bad weather and powerful winds inspired the ship as dangerously drifting towards the coastline. Despite adverse conditions, which increased the air operations and delayed boarding the Salvage team, a Kochi King King helicopter managed to win the team members on the vessel under highly challenging circumstances. The team added a 600 -meter to line to a 600 -meter to line with a offshore warrior, about 20 knots from the coast of Kochi. According to the official statement, the ship is now being touched by a speed of 1.8 miles west and is currently 35 knots. Three ICG offshore patrol ships continue to escort ships and meet fire fighting efforts. While thick smoke and some hotspots live on the ship, officials said that there is a possibility of a major environmental crisis, which credits the ICG’s fast and continuous response. The ICG is now working closely with the Directorate General of Shipping to ensure that the vessels remain at least 50 knots from the Indian shores, unless its next course is decided by the owners to conform to the international protocol.
