COLOMBO, June 3 (Xinhua) The Sri Lankan government on Thursday said a search operation has been launched to locate the Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) from the foreign-owned X Press Pearl container ship which caught fire in the outskirts of the Colombo Port last month.
In a media briefing held in capital Colombo, officials said the VDR will be used to listen to the conversations that the ship captain had with other members before and during the eruption of the fire.
This would help in the investigations to determine the exact cause of the fire, the government said.
