Efforts on to remove 54 containers washed ashore from sunken Liberian vessel

Kochi, June 7 (UNI) Efforts are on to remove 54 containers that have washed ashore after the Liberian cargo vessel, MSC ELSA 3, capsized off Kochi on May 25, sources said on Saturday.
Around 17 containers that washed ashore were removed from the Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram coasts.
The removal of containers is being done by Waterline Shipping, appointed by Mediterranean Shipping
Company (MSC). The Waterline Shipping has already removed 13 containers from Kollam and four from Thiruvananthapuram shores.
However, fishermen complained that manual cleaning of plastic pellets, sacks that have swamped the coast in many areas, is slow.
The 184-meter-long ship built in Germany in 1997 was carrying 640 containers, including 13 containing hazardous materials.
Over 100 containers are reported to have been lost at sea, and several have washed ashore in Alappuzha, Kollam, Ernakulam, and Thiruvananthapuram.
The vessel was carrying 367.1 tonnes of Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil (VLSFO) and 84.44 tonnes of marine diesel fuel.
