Oil spill barriers have been set up around the berth at Kolkata port where a container vessel from Bangladesh had capsized on Thursday, minutes after loading of cargo was completed.
Port officials said on Friday that the barriers and other devices to soak oil from the water have been installed to prevent oil from spreading into the water if there is any oil spill.
The loading of cargo on the vessel, M/v Marine Trust 1, was completed at 9am. Within 15 minutes, the vessel capsized. Several containers went into the water while many were floating.
