Gujarat firm bags Princess tender

The Goa government has awarded the work of removal of the River Princess vessel, grounded off Candolim since June 2000, to a company whose operations are based in Gujarat.
The beleaguered ship is to be removed within six months from now.
The agreement with M/s Jaisu Shipping was signed on behalf of Goa government by Chief Secretary J P Singh.
As per the agreement, the vessel is to be removed by refloating and towing away and specifically not by breaking it on site.
