Typically, the authorities knew for a while the ship would sink but took no action. Now this oil is going to pollute our beaches and kill off some marine life but as usual no one is responsible and no one to blame.

errr...3 to 4 years it was there and now action is being taken !! Well...isn't that how Sri Lanka is managed these days - Only reactions - never proactive

It is toolate now to save the nature.The burocratic idiocrazy of environmantal authority has to take the full responsibility for the disaster.They knew what was going to happen for last 3 years!!!!.Can u believe that???And did nothing.Navengineers did not try to save as they were not paid or did not supply the food with.Why could not the ministry spend some money and rescue or clear the vessel of fuel?Because nobody cares and that is it.Ministeries have a lot of money to waste but has no money to pay engineers to save our nature?Will wait and see the disaster and it will destroy all the coast line and not a single tourist will come near Panadura or up to Beruwala and the eyes of the government will open then.

How may i ask, have the authorities secured the coastline from Kaluthara to Puttlam ??

This is a very serious environmental hazard the government and the environmental authorities must act quickly. I hope there will be no serious damage to aquatic wildlife.
Sri Radharakshitha Friday, 24 August 2012 05:55 AM
If they couldn't have accomadate the ship in the Colombo port they should have anchored it in the Galle or Trincomalee port. The ports authority is at fault

Now only the environment disaster starts. No actions taken for the past four years. Mere carelessness from the relevant managements.

The owner should be arrested. And also the responsible authorities should be put behind bars for not doing anything since april
