Bunkering at Mumbai, JNPT limits for ships in Anchorage: sources
Bunkering operations at two of India’s busiest ports — Mumbai Port Trust and Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust — have been limited to vessels that are already in the ports’ inner anchorage, market sources said early Tuesday, following the collision of two Panamanian cargo ships on Saturday
On Monday, a defence ministry spokesman said the Indian Coast Guard was
trying to contain oil spilling from a badly-listing container ship that
collided with another vessel close to the city of Mumbai.
Six Coast Guard ships were working to minimize the impact of the spill
from the Panamanian-registered MSC Chitra, while a Coast Guard
helicopter was using oil-dispersal spray on the slick.
The vessel, which was five nautical miles from shore when the accident
occurred on Saturday, has listed dangerously to its port side. Some 200
containers have fallen from the ship and are being collected.
“Vessels that are already in the inner anchorage or those that are
already berthed can take bunker fuel, not otherwise,” a source based
in Mumbai said.
These vessels, however, are most likely not allowed to leave the
anchorage and vessels which have arrived at the port after the collision
have not been allowed to enter.
One market source, who has a tanker carrying fuel oil unable to leave
the port, said the market will only know whether bunkering operations
will be able to resume in the ports after a meeting scheduled for 10 am
Indian time (0430 GMT) by the port authorities and the director general
of shipping.
The MSC Chitra was leaving Mumbai when it was involved a collision with
the MV Khalijia-II, another Panamanian-registered ship, which was
manoeuvring into port. Thirty-three crew members were rescued. Both
ships developed cracks following the collision.
