Chinese ship stranded off Bengal coast
A Chinese cargo ship carrying over 5000 metric tonnes (MT) of project cargo has been stranded 30 nautical miles off the Bengal coast since June 13. The Kolkata Port Trust has not been able to provide pilots to guide it into the Haldia port due to inclement weather. The consignment is meant for a 4x600 MW power plant and a half-million tonne aluminium smelter for projects coming up at Jharsuguda in Orissa.
