Vishakhapatnam: A Vietnamese ship docked at Vishakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh listed dangerously to one side while cargo was being loaded onto it yesterday. The MV Hai Duong 09 remains tilted and efforts are on to stabilize it.
The crew and loading staff had a narrow escape when the 11,000-tonne vessel tilted at the Vishakhapatnam port, reportedly while iron billets were being loaded onto it around 3.30 pm.
The ship kept keeling until it touched the berth.
The crew is now removing the cargo to help balance the ship again.
Had the ship tilted the other way, it would have sunk, officials said, commenting that it would have caused major losses.
