Kendrapada: Officials from a Kolkata-based insurance company, along with employees of a shipping firm, on Saturday inspected two shipping containers that were washed ashore at Satabhaya beach in Kendrapada district. The containers were found to be empty.
The containers, which belonged to the cargo vessel MV ITT Puma, were lost at sea on Aug 26 after the ship sank 90 nautical miles south of Sagar Island, West Bengal, due to stormy weather.
The vessel, registered in Mumbai, was en route from Kolkata to Port Blair, carrying household goods in 20 containers. “Locals had taken the goods from the containers,” said an official from ITT Lines Private Limited, the owner of the sunken ship.
