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]
