PANAJI, (UNI)
In a major environmental catastrophe, about 110 tonnes of oil spilled into Mandovi river when two cargo barges collided four nautical miles off the Goa coast late last night.
Captain of the ports A P Mascarehas said on Wednesday that cargo vessel Prapati, owned by Atraya Shipping Private Ltd, came in contact with Singapore-based barge, Maritime Wisdom, at around 0110 hours last night off the Agauda. Both the vessels were transporting iron ore.
In the collision, the fuel tank of the Singapore based vessel was damaged and about 110 tonnes of oil was spilled.
Marmugao Port Trust (MPT) immediately swung into action and precautionary measures have been taken. The coast guard has also been alerted, he said.
The situation is under control and no causality has been reported so far, Mr Mascarehas added.
