Sri Lankan authorities say they have recovered the voyage data recorder from the wreck of the X-Press Feeders containership that ran aground last month.
The maritime black box was removed from the bridge of the 2,743-teu X-Press Pearl (built 2021) over the weekend.
Authorities hope its recovery will help to shed some light on the vessel’s movements and its communications with harbour in Colombo where it had been due to berth.
