Greenpeace India is calling on Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) to take accountability for the sinking of the MSC Elsa 3 off Kochi. The incident released 450 tonnes of fuel and chemicals, contaminating local waters and impacting fishing communities. Legal actions against MSC are underway, with significant compensation sought for damages.
On July 28, 2025, Greenpeace India and civil society groups demanded urgent action regarding environmental devastation caused by the abandoned MSC ELSA 3 off Kerala’s coast. Their white paper highlights extensive contamination of nurdles and oil pollution, labeling this a “multidimensional environmental and human crisis” necessitating swift clean-up and compensation for affected communities.
