Kerala Govt To File Admiralty Suit Against MSC ELSA-3 Over Sunken Ship

The Kerala High Court was informed that the State intends to file an admiralty suit against the owner of the cargo ship MSC ELSA-3, which sank off the coast, causing environmental and cargo loss.

During a PIL hearing, the Court stayed the ongoing settlement between the State and MSC Company, directing that any such resolution must happen through. 

The bench noted the State could seek remedies under the Admiralty Act and the Environment Protection Act. The matter is scheduled for a detailed hearing next week.
