Liberian cargo ship sinks off Kerala coast, ICG rescue crew members

A foreign cargo ship with 24 crew members capsized in the middle of sea off Kerala coast.According to reports, out of the 24 crew members onboard, 21 of them have been rescued by the Indian coast guard. Reports have also suggested that the containers on the cargo ship may have been containing some dangerous material, as authorities advised sailors not to venture near the sinking vessel. The Indian Coast Guard in Mumbai has reported receiving a distress alert regarding the Liberia-flagged container vessel MSC ELSA 3, which has developed a 26-degree list approximately 38 nautical miles southwest of Kochi.Officials said that out of the 24 crew members on board, 21 were rescued, while three remained onboard as per instructions from the company.

Shipping Company (MSC), was en route from Vizhinjam Port to Kochi when it began listing sharply on May 24 due to inclement weather. The situation deteriorated rapidly, forcing 21 of the 24 crew members to abandon ship. Rescue operations conducted by the Indian Coast Guard and passing vessels saved all personnel onboard. Nine crew members were rescued Saturday by the Singapore-based vessel Han Yi, while 12 others were recovered by the Coast Guard ship Arnvesh. The remaining three - the captain (a Russian national), chief engineer, and second engineer - stayed aboard in accordance with company protocol but were later rescued under hazardous conditions by Indian Navy vessel INS Sujata early Sunday morning.

The ship was carrying a total of 640 containers, 13 of which contained hazardous cargo, including 12 containers filled with calcium carbide. Additionally, it held 84.44 metric tonnes of diesel and 367.1 metric tonnes of furnace oil.The Directorate General of Shipping, in coordination with the Indian Coast Guard, has issued urgent directives to the ship's managers to initiate salvage operations, stabilising the vessel and mitigating further risks.
