2010 Mumbai oil spill


The 2010 Mumbai oil spill occurred after the Panama-flagged MV MSC Chitra and collided off the coast of India near Mumbai on Saturday, 7 August 2010 at around 9:50 A.M local time. MSC Chitra, which was outbound from South Mumbai's Nava Sheva port, collided with the inbound Khalijia-III, which caused about 200 cargo containers from MSC Chitra to be thrown into the Arabian Sea. Khalijia-III was apparently involved with another mishap on 18 July 2010.
