Shipwreck off Kerala coast: Plea seeks arrest of ship against $134-million damage claim

Kochi: A petition has been filed in high court seeking a directive to arrest any vessel of the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) currently within Indian admiralty jurisdiction, to secure a maritime claim of $134 million for the damage caused by the capsizing of the cargo vessel MSC ELSA 3 off Kerala coast. The public interest litigation (PIL) filed by Charles George, president of Kerala Fish Workers Coordination Committee and Swatantra Matsya Thozhilali Union, has been adjourned to Wednesday by the bench of Chief Justice Nitin Jamdar and Justice Basant Balaji for consideration along with related petitions. The Liberian-flagged MSC ELSA 3 sank approximately 14.6 nautical miles off Alappuzha coast on May 25. The petitioner submitted that the incident has triggered catastrophic ecological, economic and legal consequences. The continued presence of hazardous containers and bunker oil poses severe risks to Kerala's marine biodiversity, particularly during the monsoon fish spawning season protected under the trawling ban. Oil sardines, a vital source of income for Kerala's coastal fishermen, are at risk of extinction due to this maritime disaster. He also prayed for a directive to MSC to initiate and complete urgent wreck removal operations of the sunken vessel MSC ELSA 3 in a strict time-bound manner. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The petition further sought a directive to the shipping company to deposit an amount of $134 million with the high court registry as security for future compensation to be awarded to the affected stakeholders, including the local fishing community, environmental agencies and state govt, in proportion to the environmental and economic damage caused by the incident.
