On May 25, Liberia-flagged MSC Elsa 3 sank around 15 nautical miles off the coast of Kerala. Only a few days later, a Singapore-flagged MV Wan Hai 503 caught fire off the coast of Kerala. Two such incidents around India's coastal waters are not a rare phenomenon. There have been multiple such incidents in the seas and oceans surrounding India’s long coastline, posing various risks to marine life as well as to coastal communities. Notwithstanding the multiple agencies, such as the Indian Coast Guard and the Indian Navy, that spring into action following such incidents, is India doing enough to tackle oil spills?To discuss these issues, Lokendra Sharma, a researcher with Takshashila’s High-Tech Geopolitics Programme, sits down with Swathi Kalyani, a researcher with the Takshashila’s Geospatial Programme, and Tannmay Kumarr Baid, who’s also associated with Takshashila’s High-Tech Geopolitics Programme. Tune in to learn more about the institutions involved in oil spills, the problem of depending on ISRO's multi-purpose satellite, the need for India-specific modelling and the National Oil Spill Disaster Contingency Plan.
