Mauritius deploys coastguard to rescue stranded Chinese ship


The inspection of the trawler that ran aground near the Mauritian capital Port-Louis, with 130 tonnes of fuel oil on board, will start "shortly" to detect possible leaks, Fisheries Minister Sudheer Maudhoo said on Monday.
Seven months ago, Mauritius experienced one of the worst maritime pollution in its history with the grounding of the MV Wakashio, which spilled 1,000 tonnes of fuel oil in its turquoise waters and provoked the anger of the inhabitants.
On Sunday around 5.30 pm, the Lurong Yuan Yu, a trawler flying the Chinese flag, ran aground on a reef facing Pointe-aux-Sables (North-West), near Port-Louis. It contained no cargo but 130 tonnes of fuel oil and 5 tonnes of lubricants.
