Mangalore, Nov 27: The pumping-out operation of liquid cargo from the sunken Eritrean freighter vessel, M V DenDen, close to Tannirbavi beach has been completed on Monday, November 26, while the talks are underway to salvage the ship, now.

A total of 80 tonnes of furnace oil and 25 tonnes of diesel have been pumped-out to another vessel anchored near the sunken ship DenDen, sources said.

This operation was successfully undertaken by Netherlands-based Switzer Salvage Company with the assistance of off-shore vessel which was equipped with barge and tug boat specially brought from United Arab Emirates (UAE).

    I note that 80 tons of furnace oil and 25 tons of diesel oil has been removed from the ship. How much of oil was on the ship when she sailed out from mangalore port- it is not a secret as surveyors surely took a bunker survey after loading to ascertain the quantity of cargo. The public must be given this information by the port so that one knows how much of oil is still in the tanks of the sunken vessel or has seeped into the sea. As an ex seafarer i doubt the ship could have gone far with just 80 resp 25 tons of fuel on board knowing that nearly 10 pct of oil in ships tanks are unpumpabe. I hope the true picture will be made public
