Saturation diving starts as part of MSC Elsa 3 salvage effort

All 24 of the ship's crew were safely rescued, though many among its cargo of 640 containers later ended up on a number of beaches in Kerala while tiny plastic pellets that had originated from the ship eventually washed ashore in northern Sri Lanka.

MSC and some of the ship’s crew have been charged with negligence and recklessness in connection with the sinking, which the Kerala Government had described as a “state-specific disaster.”
