MALAYSIA is racing against time today to save nine seafarers who are either trapped in a burning tanker or adrift in the sea.
MALAYSIA is racing against time today to save nine seafarers who are either trapped in a burning tanker or adrift in the sea.
Their vessel, Formosaproduct Brick, “continues to burn,” confirmed Captain Yusof, command and intelligence chief of the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency.
Formosaproduct Brick – a 70,426dwt, Liberia-flagged product tanker – caught fire after a collision with a bulker off Port Dickson, Malaysia, in the Malacca Strait.
“Our focus now is on search and rescue operations, as we suspect they [the nine crewmen] could still be on board, or to have jumped into the sea,” the admiral said.
Damage to the environment was minimal, he stressed, describing spillage from Formosaproduct as “not major”. The tanker had a crew of 23 Chinese and two Taiwanese. It was carrying 58,000 tonnes of naptha when it collided with the Isle of Man-flagged, 73,200dwt bulker Ostende Max.
No damage was reported to the bulk carrier.
