The Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB) has asked the two main ports in the state not to allow the ships arriving from Japan to de-ballast the water, in view of the fears of radiation leaks in that country. The GSPCB has issued strict instructions to the Mormugao Port Trust (MPT) and the State-owned Panaji Minor Port to ensure that the ships which had called on Japanese ports do not release their water.
Following the directive, a big ship which arrived from Japan recently was made to anchor at the outer port.
The directive from the pollution control agency came after the State Director of Science and Environment informed that two ships which had earlier called on the Japanese port were likely to enter Goa ports.
