Mains Focus WHO TAKES RESPONSIBILITY WHEN A SHIP TAKES A HIT "On 9 June 2025, the Singapore-flagged container vessel MV Wan Hai 503 caught fire 80 km off Kerala, carrying 1,015 containers (157 classed as “dangerous”) and over 2,000 t of fuel. Barely a fortnight earlier, on 25 May 2025, the Liberian-flagged MSC Elsa 3 capsized and sank 13 NM southwest of Kochi with hazardous calcium-carbide cargo, triggering an oil slick and Admiralty litigation. These back-to-back incidents highlight recurring gaps in India’s maritime safety, liability, and pollution response architecture." https://blog.lukmaanias.com/2025/06/16/who-takes-responsibility-when-a-ship-takes-a-hit/ ..
