Shipping News and information / Wood chip carrier Crimson Polaris broke in two

« on: August 12, 2021, 08:20:46 AM »

The Japan Coast Guard successfully evacuated the crew of the 'Crimson Polaris' on Aug 11 without incident and initially reported that the vessel, which had encountered a steering problem, was not in danger. The Japan Coast Guard received a distress call from the vessel at around 7:50 a.m.LT. Shortly after 2:00 p.m., they began an airlift by helicopter lasting approximately five hours to ferry the 21 crew to shore. Some cargo had leaked from the vessel due to damage to the hull.
At 4:15 a.m. on Aug 12 the 'Crimson Polaris' broke in two just forward of the deckhouse approximately 2.5 miles off the coast. An undetermined amount of oil has reportedly spilled with an investigation and containment efforts underway.

Shipping News and information / X-PRESS PEARL sinking

« on: June 02, 2021, 08:13:50 AM »

The burnt out container m/v 'X-Press Pearl' started sinking on June 2, about two weeks after the fire started off Colombo, which would be an even bigger environmental disaster. The damage to nature is already enormous due to the burning and leakage of chemicals and plastic. An attempt was made to tow the ship to deeper water, but this operation was aborted as the ship was increasingly unstable. President of Sri Lanka Gotabaya Rajapaksa had previously requested this, so that the ecological consequences of the impending major oil spill were less serious for the Sri Lankan coast. The stern of the ship has already disappeared under water. The salvage operation has been aborted due to safety reasons. The country has already taken precautions to prevent nearby bays from being polluted by oil spills. The ship was carrying all kinds of chemicals and plastic. Much of it has ended up in the water, and nearby beaches were full of microplastics.
