Sri Lanka Navy today said there is no sign of water leaking into the bulk carrier 'MV Eurosun’ ran aground off the southeastern coast or oil into the ocean from it. The bulk carrier en route to Trincomalee from Abu Dhabi Port of UAE carrying clinker, ran aground at Little Basses which is about 5.5 nautical miles (10km) off the southeastern coast of the island. The Sri Lanka Navy ship and craft boarded with Navy divers have reached MV Eurosun and begun preliminary investigation. “However, no damage to the bulk carrier’s hull has been reported and there is no sign of water leaking into the ship or oil into the ocean,” the Navy said. Preliminary investigations have revealed that the bulk carrier sailing under Liberian flag has a shipment of over 33,000 MT of clinker and a storage of about 720 MT of bunker. On receipt of distress call to the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre (MRCC Colombo), a Sri Lanka Navy ship and craft were rushed to the scene from the ports of Hambantota and Galle last afternoon. Further, an aircraft of Sri Lanka Air Force did aerial reconnaissance in the area to capture aerial footage, following a request by the Navy. MRCC Colombo located at Navy Headquarters is carefully observing the developments into the incident.
