The Liberian-flagged MSC ELSA 3 capsized and sank off the coast of Kochi, India, after developing a severe list while carrying 640 containers, including hazardous cargo. All 24 crew members were safely rescued, 21 by the Indian Coast Guard and 3 by the Indian Navy. The ship had over 450 tonnes of fuel onboard, but no oil spill has been detected. Environmental monitoring and spill response efforts remain ongoing.
