Coal ship salvage work starts
Five days after a coal-laden cargo vessel capsized in the Pashur River in the Sundarbans under Mongla upazila, a salvage team started their work yesterday to pull it off.
The team began releasing coal from the sunken ship in the afternoon, said sources at the Department of Forest.
Ship owners engaged private vessel salvage company “Hossain Salvage Enterprise” to retrieve the vessel. The team will remove the coal from the ship, and it will be dragged to the shore.
On April 14, “MV-Bilash” carrying 775 tonnes of coal sank in the river after the vessel ran aground in a hidden shoal.
