An Indian ship sailing from Indonesia with a cargo of coal hit a berth at Gopalpur port and began leaking fuel oil, port director Manmohan Maharana said today.
The fuel oil leaked from the MV Malavika after it hit the berth yesterday, Maharana said.
To stop the leak, the entire fuel oil from the ship was transferred to a tanker within an hour, he said.
"There is nothing alarming about the incident. The situation is under control with port with coast guard personnel dealing with the problem," he said.
