'The container ship - Tiger Spring - after unloading its containers at Kolkata Dock System (KDS) of Kolkata Port Trust (KoPT) was going back through Rangaphala channel, while another container vessel - Green Valley - coming from Sandheads in the Bay of Bengal to KDS, hit it in the middle at Nurpur,' said Arun Kumar Bagchi, director, marine department of the port trust.
'The ship was severely damaged and started sinking. But now we are conducting a salvage operation,' Bagchi, who is supervising the operation, told IANS over phone.
A senior port trust official, on condition of anonymity, said: 'At Sandheads the pilot of 'Green Valley' saw 'Tiger Spring' was in a horizontal position while manoeuvering and thought that the latter ship would be able to change its position before his ship came near it.' 'But the anticipation of the pilot was wrong and his vessel hit straight in the middle of 'Tiger Spring',' said the official.
KoPT Chairman Madan Lal Meena said: 'We have sent our officials to the spot to tow the vessel. If the damaged vessel is not removed in time it will sink in the river.'
'The extent of damage to 'Green Valley' is not so devastating and it will be brought to the dock for repair. The extent of damage in the other vessel 'Tiger Spring' is huge and it will be removed by tomorrow
