Surathkal Beach Sunken Ship

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

Check out this drone video of a recent shipwreck on the coast of India, compliments of AirVuz contributor and pilot Amith.  In October of 2019, the dredging ship Bhagawati Prem got stuck in the sand in heavy seas near the beach of Surathka in Mangalore, Karnataka, on the country's southwestern (Arabian Sea) coast.  All 15 of the ship's crew were safely recovered, and no fuel leakage occurred.  The ship remains an environmental hazard to the area and its owner faces legal action from its failure to relocate it.

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

In October 2019, a 114 metre-long, 21 metre-wide dredging vessel named "Bhagvati Prem" was beached at the Surathkal coast, Karnataka, India after it witnessed flooding following a damage to the hull. This ship was supposed to be removed from the beach by January 2020, but is still present at the location. While this man-made disaster has become a tourist attraction, there are concerns from local fishermen and environmentalists about the possible environment impact of the ship continuing to remain on the beach. You can see the beach-line has already changed due to the ship stuck a few meters away from the beach.
