Mangaluru: Visit by Chinese ship carrying diesel creates anxious moments


Daijiworld Media Network - Mangaluru (SP)

Mangaluru, Apr 3: The information that a Chinese ship transporting diesel of Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd had arrived at New Mangalore Port Trust had given rise to apprehension in the minds of the people here. As per information, the ship had several Chinese workers. It was also gathered that a surveyor and two other staff had boarded the ship.

A Chinese ship that had approached the port sometime back had been sent back. The district administration was approached with a request to get the people concerned medically examined to remove any doubts in the minds of the general public.

MRPL has since clarified that the ship had come here and two personnel had entered the ship. It said that the company is strictly following guidelines provided about ships arriving from different ports, loading, health condition of the staff etc. General manager of corporate communications department of the company Rudolf V J Noronha, said that the company cannot afford to ignore coronavirus rules and being a responsible entity of the central government, there is no question of violating rules.

He said that most of the processes are performed without the human intervention like emails but for fitting diesel pipe to the pipe of the MRPL, someone has to board the ship. In such cases, all precautions like masks, goggles, gloves and safety measures are undertaken and that there is no need for the people to be apprehensive about these issues.

    If they have so much of doubt,why dont they do medical examination of chinese people on board and then go ahead with the further procedures,you can ill afford to take unnecessary risks at this moment,because the virus spreads on air and on touch too,so better take necessary precautions,and go ahead with the further procedures.

    Dear Friends,

    Please stop talking rubbish about China. Whatever you guys are discussing about China, these are all just rumours. Can I ask you guys one thing? Have you guys ever heard about their quality control? If you haven't, please enlighten your mindsets.

    After all, we are all directly or indirectly depending on China in terms of electronic gadgets, automobile industry, textiles etc..................

    If there is no China, there goes the end of the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You will see them progressing ahead while we will be lacking behind together. This is the special character of China and its developing rate.

    Don sahab...u will one day regret what u just said. U talk so highly about china so please tell me why was china inventing or hatching this virus in wuhan? Why did china not close its borders all ports and airports when the virus leaked in wuhan? Why did china not tell the world that they were not able to contain the contagion and to take precautions at port of entry? How has china recovered from the virus while the world still suffers? Was this not a plot to kill the worlds economy by means of bio war? Is China as of today the world number one economy with highest exports to the world for medical supplies, sanitizers and ventilators and all anti virus related producted? Is it not true china already had the vacine when this virus was created im wuhan? China as planned used the vacine to control the virus and now is almost virus free? ANSWER THESE QUESTION DON SAHAB. LET ME TELL U ONE MORE THING DON SAHAB THE WORLD WILL NOT KEEP QUIET...VERY SOON THE WORLD WILL SUE CHINA FOR THIS PREMEDITATED WORLD CATASTROPHY AND WILL CLAIM COMPENSATION FOR TAKING HUMAN LIFE AND ECONOMICAL LÒSSES. DON SAHAB LOOK AT WHAT THEY HAVE DONE....OPEN UR BLOODY EYES....WHAT THE HELL WERR THEY DOING WITH THE VIRUS AND WHY DID THEY TARGET THE WORLD WHEN THEY ACTUALLY WANTED HONG KONG. STILL MANY QUESTIONS REMAIN UNANSWERED.

    If we go on Road Police hit us with Lathi no matter whatever the scenarios are even though the Government had asked not to do it, this guys are bringing in Chinese Ships when the entire Country is in Lockdown, why are they risking our Country Safety? This could have been avoided no matter whatever the reasons are.

    through lots of external sources it's been obvious that corona was a top secret Chinese bio weapon manufactured as weapon of mass destruction to be used in case of third world war secretly outside Wuhan lab it was leaked accidentally through human error , within 10 days they built the biggest hospital in world & sealed all cities means they knew the Deadly impact of virus , a supporting documentary few months showed how Chinese scientists test bats in labs, a doctor who warned about the outbreak goes missing possibly executed not sure.
    JUST A CONSPIRACY THEORY.

    This is a nuisance. Avoid such things in the preliminary stage itself. Now China means shiver for the time being. For the sake of business, the whole country is being contaminated. This virus is invisible and eating the humans of the whole world. Why these people cannot understand? Already we are in adown syndrom due to present lock down and we can't bear this type of stupidity anymore. Send them back along with the two persons who have boarded in immediately. We have sympathy but cannot take such high risk.

    Per rules the persons who entered this ship should be quarantined to ascertain that they have not acquired deadly CORONA! Please don't take unwanted risk!
