Bangladeshi cargo vessel 'MV Maa' likely to be converted into restaurant at Visakhapatnam

Visakhapatnam administration proposes to convert Bangladeshi vessel 'MV Maa' into a floating restaurant after obtaining statutory clearance and clearance from its owner.

'MV Maa', anchored at Vizag Port Trust, drifted into sea in October, when its anchor broke and is at Tenneti Park now.

Speaking to ANI, Visakhapatnam District Collector (DC), Sri V Vinay Chand said, "Vessels' fuel was fully offloaded to prevent further sinking.

Process of various clearances is going on.

State government can take it up as a tourism project." "We are thinking of a floating restaurant.

However, we are awaiting all the formal clearances," he added.
