An unmanned tanker believed to be loaded with 3,000 tons of naphtha began to drift dangerously after its anchor snapped at Goa’s Mormugao Port Thursday afternoon, the Coast Guard said.
Efforts were on to rein in the tanker which was anchored at the inner berth at the Mormugao Port since July this year.
“Mormugao Port is handling the incident. We are closely monitoring the situation,” Akshay Jain a spokesperson for the Coast Guard, said.
