Movement of goods began along the navigational channel in the Mumbai harbour, which opened partially on Thursday after a five-day shutdown, Union Shipping Minister G. K. Vasan told a press conference here.
“We were able to resume partial movement of traffic in the Mumbai port. The survey done by the Navy on Wednesday revealed the feasibility of convoy-based navigation,” he said. The survey was necessitated by Panamanian cargo ships — MSC Chitra and m.v. Khalijia-III — colliding off the Mumbai coast, triggering an oil spill, on August 7.
On Thursday, seven vessels — five from the Mumbai Port Trust (MbPT) and two from the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) — were escorted out of the harbour and six — three to JNPT and three to MbPT — were escorted in, the Defence Ministry said.
Termed “Operation Pathfinder,” the naval escort effort “saw the participation of four ships of the Indian Navy, two Chetak helicopters and three specialised survey boats. The channel, which was rendered dangerous for navigation by the presence of numerous floating and sunken containers, was surveyed continuously for three days prior to undertaking the operation. The escort was successfully completed at 3 p.m. on [Thursday],” a Defence note stated.
On Thursday, Mr. Vasan reviewed the salvage operations and met Chief Minister Ashok Chavan, and Union Petroleum Minister Murli Deora.
“The falling of containers has been reduced; only one container fell today [ Thursday]. Twenty-six of them were retrieved and secured. The listing of the ship [MSC Chitra] has also been reduced to 50 to 60 degrees. Normality would be restored in the next two days. [The priority is to see] how early we can start the trade,” Mr. Vasan said.
