Barge still stuck on beach
More than six months after the 'Jin Hwa 32' got stuck at Chilka along with the barge 'Hwa 42' it was pulling on Aug 8, 2019, the barge continued to pose a threat to the lake. The tug was salvaged by a Malaysian team in September, the container remained at Rajhans beach. With all the 14 labourers from Maharashtra engaged in breaking the barge having stopped their work amid lockdown, the threat to the lake remains. The labourers had to leave the job midway through as the contractor they were working under has gone incommunicado. Amid lockdown, Krushnaprasad block administration has been providing them with cooked food. The barge was constantly causing the sea to change its direction. As a result, the diverted seawater has changed its course and has been flowing into the Chilika lake. The block administration, meanwhile, expressed its helplessness in expediting the shipbreaking work.
Tug salvaged after 1,5 months on the beach
The "Jin Hwa 32" was pulled off Rajhans beach near Chilika, and into deep waters after hours of effort in the night of Sep 15 at 10 p.m. A 15-member salvage team from Malaysia along with the offshore tug 'Cheetah' from Singapore completed the salvage work. After an initial failed attempt during the day, the high tide in the night supported the efforts of the salvors which finally succeeded in towing the tug from the beach. The 32 tons fuel had already been lightered recently.

Oil removal has commenced
In the Bay of Bengal, about 13 km from the ecologically sensitive Chilika Lake, the Bangladehs based company hired for the salvage operation of the "Jin Hwa 32" has started pumping diesel and lubricants out from the tank on Aug 28 with a hose of 700 meters length. It was stored in tankers at a fishing jetty of the Chilika Development Authority. The salvage was to be completed within three to four days. The operation began amid rain and rough seas. There was no report of any oil spillage. There was no estimate about the amount of oil on board. When the vessel started its voyage, the tank contained 30 to 35 tons of diesel a part of which had been consumed. The exact quantity of oil left in the tank will be ascertained once all oil has been pumped out. Then both the dumb barge and the tug were to be refloated and towed to Paradip, Gopalpur or Visakhapatnam.
