MUMBAI: A warning about cyclone Tauktae was communicated by the deck officer (an IRS officer) of Barge Papaa (P-305) via emails to all officials of the barge company (Durmast) and its charterer agency (Afcons) on May 14, sources said. If the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) had been followed immediately, the 75 lives of personnel on board that were lost could have been saved, they said on a day police summoned officials of four firms, including the barge company and its charterer agency, with documents for their probe into the mishap.
The barge capsized and sank 70 km off Mumbai on May
17. The responsibility of a deck officer posted on the barge from an ONGC-appointed third party agency includes ensuring compliance with ONGC’s marine operating manual by the contractor. The officer mailed the alert on May 14, and this information has been shared with the nautical adviser appointed to probe the matter.
