MT Colossus was steaming off coast Veraval and going towards Pipavav Port for discharge of cargo when suddenly both engines stopped. Vessel dropped anchor off coast Veraval. Since it was monsoon there were strong currents and heavy swells due to which anchor of the tanker was dragging and was not able to maintain its position. When a tanker is drifting close to shore with risk of grounding or collision is one of the main concerns of oil spill and damage to the environment. Emergency assistance was required for the tanker to tow to safe waters. A specialised and experienced crew team was mobilised on our Tug Triton Energy and tug was sent to tow tanker which was moving towards coastline.  A safe connection with bollards and fairleads on board a disabled tanker with high waves was completed with all safety checks. Tanker was than towed to safe waters at Pipavav Anchorage. Our operation team and vessel crew did fantastic job in adverse weather conditions.
