Summary
[edit]DescriptionIndian Navy anchors burning Merchant Vessel SSL Kolkata at the Ganges Delta (2).jpg |
English: In a daring and complex operation, a Seaking 42C helicopter from Eastern Naval Command winched down a MARCO officer on the ill-fated merchant vessel SSL Kolkata which was on fire and was abandoned by the 22 crew members on 14 June 2018 off Sagar Island at the mouth of the Ganges Delta. The MARCO officer ascertained the conditions in the forward part of the ship and later called in the helicopter to lower onbord three crew members of the ship. The team managed to drop the starboard anchor of the ship to prevent her from drifting any further. Thereafter the team prepared the seamanship gear for the ship to be towed, if required. The live nature of the threat was evident from the explosion onboard in the forenoon which restarted the fire. The helicopter skillfully recovered all four members of the team and returned to base for a turnaround. Earlier, Vice Admiral Karambir Singh , Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief Eastern Naval Command, had directed that the ship's drift towards the Sundarbans delta had to be stopped at all costs notwithstanding the high temperatures onboard to avoid an ecological disaster, should the ship capsize on the sandbanks, causing pollution from oil on board. Accordinglty, a Seaking 42C helicopter and a Dornier aircraft were despatched from Visakhapanam with a core team comprising of divers, Indian Marcos, shipwrights and seamanship specialists to stage through the indian Air Force airbase at Kalaikonda. |
