The 268-metre (879-foot) container vessel MV Wan Hai 503 carrying 22 crew members caught fire some 78 nautical miles off India’s Beypore port on Monday.
Indian Coast Guard said Tuesday that “fires and explosions persist” on the vessel, which was tilting at around “10–15 degrees”.
Initial images on Monday showed heavy containers that had seemingly been hurled up by a powerful explosion on board, with the coastguard saying that some were in the water.
Coastguard vessels alongside the blackened and burning ship poured jets of water onto the flames, according to video footage released.
A Liberian-flagged container ship with hazardous cargo sank off the coast of Kerala on May 24. The Indian navy rescued all 24 crew members.
