Lanka Mahapola sustains massive damage
By Aisha Edris
The cost of repairing the massive damage caused to Ceylon Shipping Corporation (CSC) vessel Lanka Mahapola due to an explosion last week, has been tentatively estimated at Rs. 40 million.
A 20-foot container aboard the vessel containing liquid gas exploded while a consignment was being shipped from Dubai to Doha.
According to a CSC official, the actual cost of the damage was still to be determined by the Corporation. The vessel was moved to Abu Dhabi for inspection and repairs. It would take at least 10 days to complete the repairs.
Officials added that CSC was hoping to take legal action against the Singapore based company which had chartered the ship.
