The Indian Navy to pull Mv Wisdom off the beach
The Indian Navy on Thursday started a salvage operation for ‘MV Wisdom’, which has been stranded at
Mumbai’s Juhu beach since Last Sunday. Navy helicopters are dropping heavy duty steel cables and other
equipments on the deck of the merchant vessel.
Once the cables are fastened on to ‘MV Wisdom’, tug boats will be used to pull out the ship to deep sea.
Navy officials and others involved in the salvage operation hope to take advantage of the high tide on Friday
morning when they plan to start the pull-out of the vessel, Director General of Shipping SB Agnihotri said.
The salvage efforts are likely to conclude by Saturday evening.

The disposal of HMS INVINCIBLE
Institute of Demolition Engineers’ president John Woodward has hit back at the UK government’s decision to allow one of its foremost aircraft carriers to be dismantled and scrapped outside of the UK.
“I am annoyed and amazed that the UK Government has allowed HMS Invincible to be sold for scrap and then dismantled in Aliaga in Turkey. I realise that tenders are driven by price but surely the government should have ensured that the ship stayed in the UK. We have purpose built ship recycling facilities at Hartlepool, Tyneside, Belfast, Merseyside and in Scotland and any of these could have done the job keeping employment in the UK,” Woodward says.
Yes well done the uk government for allowing the aircraft carrier to be broken up on another countries soil, and for a knock down price of $260 a ton, next time you want a warship to add to the fleet, build a bulk carrier you will get a better resale value. The UK government looking after your interests abroad

Mv Wisdom salvage put off for 2 weeks
The operation to sail the grounded ship MV Wisdom from Mumbai's Juhu beach to Alang in Gujarat was postponed for about a fortnight now, offiicials said on Sunday.
The reason for this is that are waiting for the next high spring tide to pull the ship off the beach.
I remember the same thing being said when the Mv Riverdance ended up on the beach at Blackpool in the north west part of the UK, that was eventually scrapped where it lay.

How Mv Wisdom ended up on the beach
The owners of MV Wisdom had hired the MV Seabulk Plover to tow the 9,000-ton container vessel from Colombo to Alang in Gujarat to be broken down into scrap. The ship departed from Colombo late on Thursday.
On Saturday afternoon, the tether connecting the two ships snapped in rough weather while the ships were about 12 nautical miles South West of Mumbai.
Unmanned and unpowered, the massive vessel began to drift. With a north-easterly bearing without power, it became slave to wind and ocean currents. The Coast Guard put its vessle ICGS Sankalp on alert to monitor the runaway tanker.
If its drift remained unchallenged, the MV Wisdom would have sliced into the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, a disaster for the city.
Thankfully, as the ship drifted closer and closer to the coast, it was stopped in its tracks by the sea bed. It ran aground just three km off the Taj Lands end around 8PM on Saturday. Three-km is a mere nothing in nautical terms.
Comment: they should have known that high winds during the monsoon season currently hitting the Asian region would have given them a problem with only one tug........Ed

Captain and crew of tug towing Mv Wisdom arrested
The Mv Wisdom "extravaganza" continues
“We have registered a case of dereliction of duty against the captain and crew members of MV Seabulk Plover, which was towing MV Wisdom. We will make the arrests soon while investigations proceed simultaneously,” said Chandrakant Naik, senior police inspector of Yellow Gate police station.
The cords, which were being used to tow away MV Wisdom, broke when the vessels were 11 nautical miles off the west coast.
“The crew members or the captain did not alert the concerned authorities when the incident took place. If the ship had collided with the sea link, it would’ve been a disaster,” said an officer of Yellow Gate police station.
According to the police, an operation is underway to remove the 175-m long cargo ship from Juhu beach.

Why was the MV Wisdom allowed to get so near the Bandra-Worli Sea Link
Some parts have been edited / removed or comment added in the [. ]
Did Mv Wisdom being towed to the Alang junk yard have permission to sail so close to the coast and sensitive Bombay High oil installation and who was in charge of her voyage
There is now a new landmark off the coast in Bandra, in suburban Mumbai, that joins another outside the Otters Club there, and the city should consider itself lucky that it did not float onto the signature Bandra-Worli Sea Link. It is the MV Wisdom, a 26-year-old container ship, which in the course of its lifecycle has been blessed with 14 name changes, and nobody knows how many owners. [just like countless other ships.....ed]
As a matter of fact, the real beneficiary owner of the ship is still not known, at least not officially.
The first simple question that arises is, what was this rust-bucket, junk, unseaworthy vessel doing so close to Mumbai in the first place. The next question is, who plotted courses so far inland from what the actual course on a voyage from Colombo to Alang should have been. And, certainly, why was she inland of the oil rigs and security establishments in and around Bombay High? Mariners cannot even begin to think of the damage she would have caused if she had gone adrift near Bombay High.
MV Wisdom started life in faraway Hamburg, back in 1984-85, as thecontainer ship Olandia. She bounced around the world with a variety of names, flags and despondent owners as well as charterers. These names often saw a repeat of the name Olandia, but also included Ocean Spirit, Contship Canada, City of Leeds, Oocl Pudong, Vietnam Star, Moringia, India Star, QC Wisdom and finally, Wisdom. Through all this, she bore a constant IMO number 8417558. As a small container ship, logging around 700 TEU, she would eventually be a feeder vessel and an uneconomical one at that. Scrapping, therefore, would be a natural outcome.
However, a ship headed for scrapping, either under her own power or tow, does not come close to land or coast, as far as possible, for many reasons. If she does, then she needs to inform the authorities. Because a ship headed for scrapping is not seaworthy. And if a national authority wishes to, it can certainly deny her the right of innocent passage through her territorial waters, till a point where she has to enter the territorial waters for scrapping, or with precautions to prevent what happened with the Wisdom.
In other words, the Wisdom should simply have stayed far away from India's territorial waters, until she was right off Alang, where she was reportedly destined for, and then made an entry in as direct and straight a course as possible. That is what her entry permissions into India should have stated in the first case.
The first convention that the MV Wisdom lost her line to the tug and she entered India's territorial waters knowingly, and consciously, despite being very unseaworthy. We need to know and find out if she sought the required permissions to do so, or just barged right in, and then meandered close to Bandra, subsequently. A tug tow breaking in the monsoons, especially when towing an empty unmanned dead ship with high windage, is not something the authorities should have permitted right off Mumbai. One can, therefore, only presume that she was right off our coast, by some reports just four miles off, without any permission. It would have to be total deliberate criminal act if permissions were given to this movement, in the way described, with just one tug that seemingly gave up after the towing arrangement snapped. [not known at this time........ed]
If she was in any other country, the authorities would have insisted that she had backup arrangements, at least two tugs for the tow and a third one on standby, and very regular monitoring of the situation.
Now, a dead ship under tow is not some sort of high-speed boat, it is more like a very slow combo chugging and struggling along at a speed not exceeding 3-4 knots (about 6-8 kmph), at best, if not even slower. In this sort of weather it would have taken more than a few days just to cross Mumbai harbour, assuming she came close to the coast past Goa, and then along the Raigad/Kolaba coast. She would have been picked up on every small and large shore radar screen, every naval and coast-guard ship, every offshore supply vessel on duty in and around the Bombay High platforms, and even the radars on the platforms and rigs. Most of all, despite the heavy seas and monsoons, she would have been visible to the naked eye from more than a dozen light-houses along the coast, including assorted naval batteries.
In addition, every other ship underway in and around the area would have picked her up on their radar screens, and stayed miles away. Any ship at anchor that this combo came within miles of would either raise anchor and flee, or raise a strong protest on the radio to the tug as well as the port authorities. As seafarers, we know how unpredictable and dangerous such derelicts under tow can be, and it is just not worth it being anywhere near them. Anywhere would mean that if I was on another ship, I would keep a very safe distance, which means steer at least five miles clear distance away, regardless, even more if I was a tanker or other kind of big ship.
Every one of them would have seen a double-blip on their screens. Any one of them could have challenged the tug-ship tow on simple VHF radio, and asked them to move further from shore, as well as establish identity. Every one of them could have filed a report with the many radio and marine stations all along the coast, of a tug and tow operating too close to the coast and representing a possible hazard. It is likely that some did, but whether they did or not is unknown; and even if they did, what happened next would be unknown. Something similar happens when un-roadworthy trucks are winked past on our roads, to give you an idea of what really may have happened, since there is no other logical reason why nobody seems to be aware of what was happening till this 13,000 tonner landed up aiming for the Bandra-Worli Sea Link.
The bigger issue, however, is that the Indian coast is rapidly becoming a dump yard for the junks and overage ships. And the Wisdom is just another example of this malaise; the solution to which has been debated and written about repeatedly, but never implemented, for a variety of reasons.
For all the coastline we have, our authorities have simply been unable to put up a simple Vessel Tracking System (VTS) along the coast, and appear to be nowhere near to doing so either. The bigger issue that the Wisdom brings out with shocking precision is simply that despite all the fuss after the 26/11 attacks by boat from Karachi, our coastline is as open as it was. Never mind small fishing boats, huge ships like the Wisdom can sail through, without being stopped or challenged. Think about it.
And if you challenge this too much, then you are in danger of meeting the same fate as other journalists who dig too deep, into matters pertaining to anything which might upset the status quo, of what really happens in offshore India. Or, being called "anti-national", as this writer has been, lately.

And if you challenge this too much, then you are in danger of meeting the same fate as other journalists who dig too deep, into matters pertaining to anything which might upset the status quo, of what really happens in offshore India. Or, being called "anti-national", as this writer has been, lately.

Gulf Jash - The toxic ship update
The toxic chemical tanker, Gulf Jash [mentioned on an earlier post] after being banned from being broken up at Chittagong and banned from entering the port of Alang, is finally going to be scrapped in China.
Early attempts were made to get the vessel scrapped in either Africa or another yard within Europe, but didn't come to anything.

GULF JASH the latest toxic ship
NGO Shipbreaking Platform reported that the Probo Koala, now re named the Gulf Jash, a ship which caused an environmental and human rights disaster in the Ivory Coast in August 2006, has been sold for scrapping on the infamous ship breaking beaches of Chittagong in Bangladesh.
Environmental, human rights and labor rights organizations represented by the NGO Shipbreaking Platform fear that the Probo Koala will be allowed to perpetuate its deadly legacy by being broken down in unsafe and environmentally damaging conditions. The NGOs call on the government of Bangladesh to refuse the import of the death ship and say no to illegal toxic waste trade. It is expected that the Probo Koala contains many tonnes of hazardous asbestos, PCBs, toxic paints, fuel and chemical residues. Currently the ship is located in Vietnam.
In 2006, the transnational company Trafigura used the Probo Koala to illegally dump 528 tonnes of toxic waste in Abidjan, the largest city of the Ivory Coast, causing the death of 16 people according to the Ivorian authorities. Global Marketing Systems, a US company specialised in the brokering of vessels for demolition, confirmed it had bought the ship last week, but had so far not disclosed its final destination. However, its website listed that one of the advantages of utilizing Bangladesh as a destination for end of life vessels is the lack of requirements for testing for gas residues within the ship. These gases might ignite and explode when a ship breaking worker uses a cutting torch.

Further to this report GMS have pointed out that they are not owners of the vessel GULF JASH, as widely reported in the India media.
