Mangalore : A team of experts on marine dynamics and engineering Friday said that MV Chang Lemin, the freighter that is stuck in shallow waters off the Taneerbavi coast near here since Thursday, is safe and there are no chances of it capsizing.
The team that arrived here Friday undertook a survey of the ship and reached the conclusion.
Basing their conclusion on the position of the ship for the last 24 hours, the volume of cargo that was in the hold and the health of the engines, they said the ship was in a stable condition.
But since a major portion of the keel of the ship was stuck in the sand, it might not be able to move into the high seas, they said.
The expert team also met the chairman of the New Mangalore Port and the conservator of the port, Captain V.K. Vasvani, and briefed them on the situation.
