Gulf Today
|May 27, 2025
India’s coastguard raced on Monday to contain an oil spill from a container ship with hazardous cargo that sank off the southern coast a day earlier, Kerala’s state government said.
-
The Liberian-flagged MSC ELSA 3, listed as a 184-metre (603-foot) freight ship, went down off the coast of Kerala on Sunday, with all 24 crew members rescued.
It was carrying 640 containers, including 13 with hazardous cargo and 12 containing calcium carbide, a chemical used for fertiliser production and steelmaking. The vessel also contained some 370 tonnes of fuel and oil.
"The Coast Guard is taking action to prevent the spread of oil using two ships," Kerala’s government said in a statement.
"The work of spraying dust to destroy the oil is in progress using a Dornier aircraft”.
