These huge business and monetary losses will definitely lead to investigations into the reasons and causes of this global issue. The onboard crew , which is all Indians and 25 in numbers, may face legal actions and charges.
A report from The Times of India on the same, quotes Captain Sanjay Prashar, member of National Shipping Board (NSB) as saying:
"Firstly, it has to be ascertained as to how the giant ship ran aground. Facts can be checked by examining and listening to conversation in the ship voyage data recorder and one can come to an understanding as to what caused the mishap."
After several days trying to dislodge the Ever Given cargo ship from the Suez Canal, the salvage team pinned their hopes on this week’s full moon, when, beginning Sunday, water levels were set to rise a foot and a half higher than normal high tides https://t.co/BgB0aOK0tK
