The Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Friday ordered the detention of MV Navios Venus, a cargo ship registered in Panama, that was involved in a collision with a mechanised fishing boat off the coast near Colachel in Kanniyakumari district. The ship is presently lying in Mumbai Port Trust.
The court was hearing the petition filed by P. Rajamani, the owner of the mechanised fishing boat.

A total of 17 fishermen on the fishing boat were fishing at the time of the incident.
