According to broker
Prevailing Shipping & Logistics India, the incident was probably brought on
by poor ballasting and the vessel’s cranes’ outboard position. The local
authorities are conducting further investigations on the event, nonetheless.
Some five hours after
the incident, the ship was stabilised, according to local media sources. As of
8 January, the Sea Xpress was still anchored next to the terminal’s pier.
