Wan Hai 503 fire latest update: still smoldering after more than 20 days! The stern is sinking!
According to foreign media reports, the Wan Hai 503 (Wangchun) under Wan Hai Shipping has been undergoing rescue operations for more than 20 days after a serious fire. The vessel has now been towed about 130 nautical miles outside India's exclusive economic zone, but the situation remains grim.
The No. 4 cargo hold continues to smolder, with light smoke still rising, posing a risk of smoldering and possible re-ignition. The stern is sinking, the hull is tilted, and the engine room is severely flooded. Five drainage pumps are continuously operating, but the vessel's structure is damaged, and its stability is in doubt.
