Containers adrift from grounded ship MSC Chitra.

Chitra lies tilted 80 deg aground off Sunk Rock light house after being rammed by Kalijia 3. Some 80 odd containers are either adrift or sunk in the Navigation channel of Mumbai port.These containers are being towed away by tug boats. These 5 containers had drifted very close to my ship at anchor, Samudrika 1, due to bad weather. There was every chance of them damaging and holing my ship side. I had to make a lot of noise to all authorities in Mumbai Port and they were quick enough to send these two tugs.
