Damaged Vietnamese vessel to head for Ctg
MV Ahn Son, a Vietnamese vessel with a damaged rudder that has been anchored at Sagar Island for the last several days, will leave for Chittagong port soon, reports the Times of India.
The ship was allowed by the Kolkata Port Trust to unload its cargo of logs on to barges at Sagar but not permitted to enter the Kolkata or Haldia ports due to its damaged steering gear. A tug has now been arranged to tow the ship to Chittagong, sources confirmed.
"It [the ship] should be sailing within the next couple of days for Chittagong where repairs will be carried out. It will be towed to Chittagong by a tug. We have already arranged for a tug," a source said.
MV Ahn Son was allowed to offload cargo at Sagar Island on one condition--it would leave within 24 hours after the unloading.
