The Hindu reported that for the second day in a row, attempts to haul the ship MV Wisdom from Mumbai's Juhu beach into the sea failed on Saturday.

A press note issued by the Directorate General of Shipping said “In Saturday's attempt by the salvage team, the vessel did not respond as expected. Salvers said they will make one last attempt on Sunday in high tide at about 3 PM. If it is not successful, the next attempt would be made in the next spring tides, about a fortnight from now.”

The 9,000 tonne cargo vessel, which ran aground near the beach recently, was being towed to a ship breaking yard in Gujarat's Alang. However, it broke away from the tug in rough weather and ran aground near the beach.

Operations to put it back in the sea started on Friday, but have not borne fruit so far.
