Oriental N - Exxon Valdez given go ahead to be beached

The Supreme Court today (July 30, 2012) granted permission for controversial US ship Oriental Nicety, earlier known as ‘Exxon Valdez’, involved in one of the worst US oil spills off Alaska in 1986, to beach at Alang, Gujarat coast and permitted its owner to dismantle the vessel.

A bench of justices Altamas Kabir and J.Chelameshwar passed the order after considering the various reports submitted by the Centre, Gujarat Maritime Board and the Atomic Regulatory Board that the ship was free from hazardous material. 


The bench said “we direct the concerned authorities to allow the ship in question to beach and permit the ship owner to proceed with the dismantling of the ship after complying with all the requirements of the Gujarat Maritime Board, the Gujarat Pollution Control Board and the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board.

Oriental Nicety / Exxon Valdez given permission to anchor off Bhavnagar

Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) today said it had given permission to the ship `Oriental Nicety' (formerly Exxon Valdez), which was once involved in a major oil-spill accident to anchor at Alang, citing Supreme Court's directive.

"After clearance from Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) and the Customs, we are giving anchoring permission to the ship in such a way that it can be sent back if it is found to have any irregularities against the documents submitted," GMB's General Manager, Atul Sharma, told PTI. "The procedure is being observed as per the Supreme Court's order," he said.

The Supreme Court, on June 25, had asked GMB to decide by July 9 whether to allow the anchoring and dismantling of the controversial ship at Alang beach. NGO `Research Foundation for Science' had moved the apex court opposing the ship's entry into Indian waters, alleging that it had not been decontaminated (to remove the toxic substances) before it set off for ship-breaking yards of Alang. Ships have mercury, arsenic, asbestos and residual oil in their hulls and holds, and unless decontaminated, they pose a risk to the ship-breaking workers as well as the environment.

Oriental Nicety, earlier known as Exxon Valdez, was involved in one of the worst oil spills in USA, off Alaska shore, in 1989. The vessel was purchased by Bhavnagar-based Best Oasis Company (subsidiary of Priya Blue Industries) in Gujarat on May 3 for dismantling.

The ship is now anchored of bhavnagar and is now known as Oriental N. So what is different from this vessel to any other that's being beached at alang, maybe it's just it's reputation as being an unlucky ship, it's not the first time she has been involbpved in controversial accidents.
