Kepungoda, May 26 (EFE/EPA).- Sri Lankan beach dwellers scavenged Wednesday for materials washing shore from the burning Singapore-flagged container vessel MV X-Press Pearl after the 25-member crew were evacuated by the Sri Lankan Navy on Tuesday.Two members were reportedly injured and one was tested positive for Covid-19. A fire broke out as the MV X-Press Pearl anchored about 9.5 nautical miles (18km) northwest of Colombo awaiting entry into the port. The Sri Lanka Navy said the explosion was caused by chemicals being transported on the ship carrying over 1,000 containers, including 25 tonnes of nitric acid and other chemicals from the port of Hazira, India.
