Fire takes ship down in Malaysia

Kuala Lumpur: One of the two vessels, which caught fire on Saturday, has sunk.

The MT Kit 57 sank with initial investigations pointing towards a short circuit in the engine room. The ship will be salvaged.
Marker buoys have been deployed over where MT Kit 57 rests one nautical mile south of Pulau Mungging as a warning to other ships, as the wreck can pose a danger to any vessel with a haul of 20 m.

No oil spill has been reported while two Myanmar crew were injured.  [03/09/13]
