Fire on oil tanker off Sri Lanka\'s coast under control, but not extinguished
Deccan ChronicleColombo: A team of experts is joining efforts to salvage a large oil tanker that has been burning for the fourth day Sunday off Sri Lanka, the country’s navy said. Four tug boats, three Sri Lankan navy ships and six Indian ships have been battling the fire on the MT New Diamond since Thursday. With engines shut down, the tanker carrying nearly 2 million barrels of crude oil drifted about 20 nautical miles from Sri Lanka’s eastern coast on Friday before a tug boat towed it farther out to sea. The fire began in an engine room boiler but had not spread to the tanker’s oil storage area and no leak has been reported, the navy said.
