  • COLOMBO, SRI LANKA - MAY 28 : Sri Lanka Navy personnel in protective clothing packing the debris and chemical granules used to manufacture plastic, washed ashore from the burning cargo vessel MV X-Press Pearl and heaped together by bulldozers on the beaches of Wattala to Negombo in the suburbs of Colombo, Sri Lanka 28 May 2021. A fire broke out in Singapore-flagged container vessel MV X-Press Pearl anchored about 9.5 nautical miles (18km) northwest of Colombo awaiting entry into the port on 20 May. The ship reportedly carried 25 tonnes of nitric acid and other chemicals, cosmetics etc. loaded at the port of Hazira in India on May 15. The 25-member crew of Russian, Chinese, Philippine and Indian nationals were rescued by the Sri Lanka Navy on 25 May. Two of the crew members were injured and hospitalized where one was later tested positive for Covid-19. While Indian and Sri Lankan Navy and Coast Guard vessels attempted to douse the fire, several containers toppled into the sea and debris, various goods, chemical granules etc. were washed ashore along the main tourist spot beaches near Negombo. While warnings from the island nationâs Maritime Environmental Protection Authority (MEPA) went unheeded, residents along the beach defied the ongoing Covid-19 travel restrictions and salvaged items from the shore. Police arrested several such persons and warned that the materials thus collected may be toxic and harmful to humans. (Photo by Pushpa Kumara/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
