“M/V Wakashio grounding and the environmental tragedy in Mauritius”

INTERCARGO would like to express its sympathy to the people of Mauritius as they face the state of environmental emergency declared as a result of the grounding of the M/V Wakashio.

No doubt once the facts are known, there will be valuable lessons to be learned from the grounding of the 203,000-dwt bulker off the coast of Mauritius, with the resulting damage to the marine environment and the livelihoods that depend on it.
