world π’ DGMA updates court on MSC Elsa 3 wreck survey
The Directorate General of Maritime Administration (DGMA) has informed the Kerala High Court about assessing the MSC Elsa 3 wreck. The DGMA requested the Indian Navy to use its expertise for an underwater survey of the submerged containers and hazardous cargo. Two Indian firms, C Track Surveys and Fugro Survey India Pvt. Ltd., were identified for the required surveys. The court is reviewing PILs for wreck removal and compensation for fishermen from the 2025 sinking. MSC will cover the costs, and an inter-departmental committee is sought for the assessment.
