Container ship fire produces ecological catastrophe in Sri Lanka

Container ship fire produces ecological catastrophe in Sri Lanka In the second major container ship accident in Sri Lankan waters in the past year, the X-Press Pearl, which was awaiting entry to Colombo port, caught fire on May 20 after a chemical leak. All attempts to douse the fire failed and the ship sank about 10 nautical miles off the west coast of Sri Lanka, creating major problems for the environment, fisheries and the health of coastal communities.

The blaze raged for days, discharging contaminated water and oil into the sea, before the ship was towed away.
