Singapore-Flagged Ship Still On Fire off Kerala Coast, Begins Tilting

Описание: A massive fire continues to rage aboard a Singapore-flagged container ship off the Kerala coast, more than 24 hours after it first caught fire. The ship, which is now listing 10 to 15 degrees to the left (port side), has hazardous and flammable cargo onboard, including lithium batteries, pesticides, naphthalene, printing ink, and 100 tonnes of bunker oil. Several containers have fallen into the sea, raising serious environmental concerns. The Indian Coast Guard and Navy are engaged in intense firefighting operations with ships Samudra Prahari and Sachet on site, while Samarth is en route from Kochi. Aerial surveillance is also being carried out by a Dornier aircraft. Of the 22 crew members, 18 have been rescued and taken to Mangaluru for medical care. Search operations are still on for the remaining four crew.
