The inquiry report is also critical of the Mumbai Port trust's Vehicle Traffic Monitoring System (VTMS), a radar, which is meant to track the movement of ships in its waters.
The inquiry found that one out of the two radars was not working and no one was near the screen monitoring the ship movements. The VTMS staff was ignorant about the approaching ships .
The state government has fined the MSC Chitra over Rs 3 crores for polluting the coast after the collision but these findings could well pave the way for a claim on the M V Khalijia.
