A sessions court granted interim bail till Wednesday to the captain of cargo vessel MV Khalijia 111, which had collided with another cargo ship MSC Chitra resulting in a major oil spill off and around the Mumbai coast earlier this month.
A cargo ship, which collided with another vessel a few nautical miles off the coast in Mumbai, continues to spill oil for the second consecutive day as it further tilted, dropping more oil containers into sea, as the Coast Guard carried out anti-pollution operations.
Two Panamanian cargo ships collided on Saturday off the Mumbai coast causing an oil spill from one of the vessels but no casualties were reported, Indian Coast Guard officials said.
One of the biggest maritime disasters in India, the collision between MSC Chitra with MV Khalijia-III on Saturday about five kilometres from Mumbai island has brought maritime activities to a grinding halt.
