A grounded, fire-damaged Shreyas Shipping and Logistics boxship has suffered further explosions off India.

The 1,118-teu SSL Kolkata (built 2007) has also developed a list 7.5 nautical miles from the Sunderbans in West Bengal.

The grounding occurred after an explosion on 13 June in the cargo area, resulting in a significant fire.

Operator Shreyas said the crew, using the on-board fire response systems, fought the fire for as long as they were able to, but were eventually forced to leave the vessel due to its intensity.
