The 'Theseus', which had sustained damage in tropical storm Sagar in the Gulf of Aden, nearly 2.000 nautical miles from Sri Lanka, has been turned around in just 36 hours by Colombo International Container Terminals (CICT) when it arrived in the Port of Colombo. The 'Theseus', operated under Ocean Alliance’s Asia-Mediterranean service by Evergreen Line, was en-route to Colombo on its weekly scheduled call after Jeddah, when the storm hit. Some of its containers were washed away while others were crushed, scattered around or left hanging along the stacks. On receipt of a distress call, the operations team from CICT boarded the vessel for a pre-inspection and developed a comprehensive action plan with a dedicated team of ship-to-shore gantry operators and experienced stevedores, after which vessel was brought alongside the CICT berth, by the pilots of the Sri Lanka Ports Authority (SLPA). The salvage operation commenced with an inspection of all damaged containers by a professional surveyor. Thereafter, the CICT team launched the simultaneous lashing and unlashing operation, which involved unlashing the damaged units, lashing adjacent containers to secure them and discharging the damaged units. After CICT’s operation which was completed in less than a day and a half, despite the harsh weather conditions, the 'Theseus' was swiftly despatched to its next stop in Singapore where it arrived on May 27.
