Mumbai: The cargo ship MV Wisdom finally moved into the sea today, after being stuck at Mumbai's Juhu beach for the last 20 days.
An international salvage company, Smit Salvage, tugged away MV Wisdom, after three earlier attempts to salvage the ship during high tide had failed, sparking environmental concerns at Juhu beach.
The MV Wisdom - owned by a Singapore company- was on its way from Colombo to the Alang shipyard in Gujarat when it ran into a series of technical problems. It first drifted dangerously close to the Worli Sea Link, then ran aground near Juhu beach. Extensive efforts by the Navy and others last week to move the 9000-ton ship had failed, but everything went smoothly today as the ship moved away from Juhu beach.
