India ordered salvagers to remove hundreds of containers obstructing Mumbai’s ports by Aug. 14 as the government accelerates attempts to reopen the nation’s busiest cargo-box harbor.
“This work has to be speeded up,” Rakesh Srivastava, joint secretary for ports at the Ministry of Shipping said in an interview after a meeting to discuss the recovery measures today. Salvagers are retrieving only four to six boxes a day of the 300 floating and submerged, he said.
