Operation on to pull out LPG-ladden ship

Efforts are on to salvage a merchant ship Kew Bridge which has been stranded off the Ratnagiri harbour since September 14.

Three tugs from Mumbai have reached the spot where the ship has been grounded in soft mud.

The Kew Bridge is an LPG carrier with about 8,000 metric tonnes of Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) on board.
