A small container ship suddenly capsized and went down off the coast of India on Sunday, the Indian Ministry of Defense reports.
On Saturday, the feeder MSC Elsa 3 was under way from Vizhinjam to Kochi with a cargo of 640 containers on board. The ship developed a list and the crew sent out a distress signal. The vessel's list increased to 26 degrees, and it lost about 100 containers over the side.
Indian first responders diverted to the scene and rescued the Elsa's crew: 21 were saved by the Indian Coast Guard and three more were saved by the Indian Navy.
The vessel went down with about 85 tonnes of diesel and about 370 tonnes of fuel oil in her tanks. No measurable spill has been detected to date, but monitoring continues.
The cause of the sinking is not yet known. In video footage provided by Indian authorities, conditions on scene at the time of rescue appeared moderate, with modest swells.
