Gulf Jash's name changed?
Suspecting the "Gulf Jash", which was sent away from a Bangladesh breaking yard for being laden with toxic material, might have tried to reach the Alang ship-breaking yard in Gujarat by changing its name, the Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) detained a vessel named "Gulf Safwa" off Gopnath shore in Bhavnagar district on June 3, 2011. Resemblence in the name apart, the two vessels have many features in common that made state authorities suspicious. The tonnage and year of construction are similar and suspectedly even the building yard. In that case, it could be the same controversial vessel or a sister vessel. The vessel would be given a go-ahead only when GPCB says so after its inspection.
