An offshore supply tug was to be deployed to fight the fire on the 'SSL Kolkata', which despite initial reports was still on. No open flames were spotted, but there was smoke still billowing from inside the ship. A helicopter was to be called in on Jun 19 to pour more water on cargo deck. Adding to fire woes, the ship meanwhile drifted aground in position 21 25 N 088 45 E, about eight miles off the Sundarban National Park coast.
