The bulk carrier Sea Angel sank, while being undertow from m/v Morning Star. The accident happened 6.5 nautical miles off Kochi, near the Munambam harbour. The main reason for the unexpected sank of the ship was the rough sea and the strong wind, which hit the board of the bulk carrier. The ship Sea Angel was towed to the breaking yard at the port of Azhikkal, where should be scrapped. The vessel is quite old, and has serious engine failure, which was too expensive for the shipowner and they refused to use this ship anymore. During the accident there are no injured crew members and no pollution, but the responsibility for the wreck removal will be at ship owners and the agents.
The ship Sea Angel has length of 70.00 meters and operates under the flag of Maldives.
