Navy chief set to review vessel safety norms in Mumbai today
Hindustan Times
|December 20, 2024
Navy chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi will be in Mumbai on Friday for a firsthand assessment of the collision between a naval speedboat and a passenger ferry in Mumbai harbour - the accident on Wednesday left 14 people dead - for a visit aimed at re-emphasising issues related to safety, security and standard operating procedures, officials aware of the matter said on Thursday.
There will also be a special session dedicated to safety and security, with focus on the actions taken, based on a recent special task force (STF) report during the next Naval Commanders' Conference, to be chaired by Tripathi in March 2025, the officials added.
Tripathi returned to Delhi on Thursday after a four-day visit to Indonesia to boost bilateral ties.
The Mumbai-based Western Naval Command has ordered a board of inquiry, headed by a commodore, to investigate what caused the accident. On Wednesday, the navy said the speedboat was undergoing engine trials when it lost control and collided with the passenger ferry, Neel Kamal, which was carrying more than 100 passengers from Gateway of India to Elephanta Island.
