An expert team will be submitting a report on the salvage possibilities of grounded vessel MV Wisdom, which ran aground off Juhu beach on Sunday after breaking from its tow and floating off, escaping a collision with the Bandra Worli Sea Link on Saturday.
Senior maritime officials have confirmed that the vessel might not be in a position to be towed till the end of south-west monsoon due to the weather and tide conditions.
The ship’s owners have arranged for a Powai-based agency to undertake the salvage operation and arrange for the towing towards Alang.
Earlier on Saturday, the Tug Seabulk Plover towing MV Wisdom had lost her nautical direction and grounded the vessel just three miles off Bandra Point, close to the city’s water landmark, the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. The sea conditions had got the vessel to drift towards Juhu coastline.
