Shipping experts on Wednesday started pulled out about a dozen of the hundreds of cargo containers that had fallen overboard after two container ships collided in the Arabian Sea off the coast of Mumbai, an Indian government statement said. The Panamanian-registered MSC Chitra smashed into the MV-Khalijia-II near Jawahar Lal Nehru port Saturday. The MSC Chitra ran aground and has been listing heavily since. Nearly 500 tons of its fuel and lubricants spilled into the sea before the leaks in its fuel tank were plugged late Monday. (AP Photo/Rajanish Kakade)
