The crane vessel called in to rescue Heng Tong 77, the cargo ship stranded near Karachi’s Sea View, also got stuck on Karachi’s shore on Wednesday. Heng Tong 77 departed from India’s Chennai port for Istanbul. On July 18, it stopped in Karachi for staff changes. The high tides pushed it towards the coast, a few kilometres away from Sea View where it got stuck on July 21. Earlier, the rescue team dug sand in the ocean to create a channel that allowed them reach the vessel. Foreign tug boats were also brought to pull the ship into deeper waters. However, it did not work. On July 27, the Karachi Port Trust decided to remove fuel from the ship. It was carrying 118 tonnes of bunker fuel. .
