Plastic nurdles from KL shipwreck reach Kumari, experts fear for Gulf of Mannar
The New Indian Express Chennai
|May 29, 2025
PLASTIC nurdles — tiny pellets used in plastic manufacturing — have started washing ashore in Kanniyakumari district, raising alarms over potential ecological fallout from the sinking of the container ship MSC ELSA 3 off the Kerala coast.
The Liberia-flagged vessel sank on May 25, about 38 nautical miles off the coast between Vizhinjam and Kochi. It was carrying 640 containers, including 13 with hazardous materials, along with diesel and furnace oil.
The spill has since scattered debris across the sea, including nurdles that have drifted southward from beaches in Thiruvananthapuram into Tamil Nadu's coastline due to prevailing ocean currents.
